Mannyfest Afters is the perfect late-night continuation of Manchester's biggest festival celebration, kicking off at 11pm on Saturday 23 May 2026 at Rebellion. This free after-party brings together thousands of music lovers for an unmissable night of dancing and live performances, making it an absolute must if you're already in the city for Mannyfest. With no entry fee and a buzzing crowd, it's one of the best value nights out in Manchester.
Rebellion sits right in the heart of Manchester city centre, making it easily accessible from anywhere in town. The venue's known for hosting top-tier DJs and live acts, with a killer sound system and intimate atmosphere that punches well above its weight. You'll find it nestled among the Northern Quarter's vintage shops and indie bars, so you can easily grab pre-drinks nearby before heading in.
Getting there is straightforward – the venue's just minutes from Piccadilly Station and well-served by local buses. Expect a packed dancefloor and queues after 11:30pm, so arrive early if you want to avoid waiting around. Wear comfortable shoes because you'll be on your feet all night, and bring cash for the bar as it's quicker than card payments when it gets busy.
