NOFX: 40 Years of Fuckin' Up at New Century Hall Manchester
Legendary Californian punk legends NOFX are bringing their 40 Years of Fuckin' Up celebration tour to New Century Hall on Thursday 20 August 2026, and this is a rare chance to catch one of punk rock's most uncompromising bands live in Manchester. With four decades of satirical, politically-charged anthems and chaotic stage presence under their belts, NOFX remains essential listening for anyone serious about punk – expect a setlist spanning their entire catalogue, from early Fat Wreck Chords classics to recent material. At just £25, this is fantastic value for a band of their calibre and cultural significance.
New Century Hall sits right in Manchester's vibrant Northern Quarter, surrounded by independent bars, vintage shops, and street art – it's the perfect neighbourhood to soak up Manchester's creative spirit before or after the gig. The venue itself is intimate enough to feel special while maintaining excellent sound quality, making it ideal for punk's raw energy.
The 18+ age restriction keeps things properly adult, so come ready for some edgy humour and unfiltered punk attitude. Arrive early to explore nearby Tib Street's eclectic venues, grab a pre-gig pint, and get a good spot near the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable night of punk rock history.
