# Manchester Got Soul: Live Music and DJs Til Late
Manchester Got Soul is bringing proper soul, funk, and blues vibes to Castlefield this April, with live musicians and DJs keeping the energy going late into the night. It's a free event on Saturday 25 April, kicking off at 7pm, so you can get your fix of quality live music without breaking the bank – just remember it's strictly 18+ only.
The Blues Kitchen in Castlefield is a Manchester institution for anyone serious about live music and good atmosphere. Tucked into one of the city's most characterful neighbourhoods, the venue's intimate setup means you'll get proper close to the action, whether it's the live acts or the DJs spinning between sets. Castlefield itself is buzzing on a Saturday night, with bars, restaurants, and the canal creating a proper destination vibe.
Getting there's dead easy – Castlefield is walkable from Deansgate or Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop, and there's parking nearby if you're driving. Arrive early to grab a decent spot and soak up the pre-show atmosphere; the free entry means it'll draw a crowd. Expect sweaty dancefloors, quality drinks, and the kind of night that reminds you why Manchester's music scene is still world-class.
