About This Event

Manchester Got Soul is bringing proper live music and late-night DJs to Castlefield this June, and it's completely free to get in. If you're after a genuine night of soul, funk, and rhythm without breaking the bank, this Saturday 13 June event at The Blues Kitchen is exactly what you need – expect quality live acts followed by DJs keeping the dance floor moving well into the early hours.

The Blues Kitchen sits in the heart of Castlefield, one of Manchester's most atmospheric neighbourhoods, surrounded by cobbled streets, canal-side spots, and that brilliant mix of industrial heritage and modern bars. It's the perfect setting for a soulful night out, with the venue's intimate vibe and top-notch sound system making it a favourite among serious music lovers across the city.

Doors open at 7pm, so arrive early to bag a decent spot near the stage before things get busy – this free event always draws a crowd. The 18+ age restriction keeps the atmosphere mature and focused on the music, so come ready to dance and soak in proper soul vibes. Getting there's easy via the Metrolink or a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly station; just head towards the Deansgate-Castlefield area and follow the music.
