# MJ Legacy – Live at Empire Rochdale
MJ Legacy brings a spectacular tribute to the King of Pop to Empire Rochdale on Friday 24 April 2026, and the best part? Entry is completely free. This high-energy live performance celebrates Michael Jackson's iconic catalogue with authentic choreography, costume changes, and that unmistakable sound that defined generations – perfect for MJ fans and pop lovers across Greater Manchester looking for a brilliant night out without breaking the bank.
Empire Rochdale sits in the heart of Rochdale town centre, just a short tram ride from Manchester, making it easily accessible for nights out across the region. The venue's got a fantastic reputation for hosting quality live music and tribute acts, with a proper atmosphere that'll get you moving from the first beat.
Head down early to grab a spot near the stage, as free events tend to draw decent crowds and you'll want the best view of those dance moves. The 18+ age restriction keeps it a more mature crowd, so expect a proper night with fellow music enthusiasts. You can easily reach Empire Rochdale via the Metrolink tram service – just jump on the line towards Rochdale and you're sorted. Get there by 20:00 for kick-off and prepare for an unforgettable Michael Jackson experience.
