# Nubiyan Twist + O at New Century Hall Manchester
Nubiyan Twist are bringing their infectious blend of Afrobeat, funk and jazz to New Century Hall on Friday 24 April 2026, with special guests O completing the bill. It's a rare chance to catch one of the UK's most exciting live acts without breaking the bank – this gig is completely free – making it perfect for anyone in Manchester keen to experience top-tier world music in an intimate setting.
New Century Hall sits in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter, a neighbourhood that's become synonymous with creative energy and independent venues. The Grade II-listed building offers brilliant acoustics and a welcoming vibe that's made it a favourite among local music fans and touring artists alike. You'll find yourself surrounded by independent shops, cafes and bars before and after the show, so arrive early to soak up the area's character.
The doors open at 19:00, so get there with time to spare if you want a decent spot. It's a 14+ event, so younger music lovers are welcome. The Northern Quarter is easily accessible by tram or a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly station – head towards Stevenson Square and you can't miss it. Expect a packed room and brilliant atmosphere.
