Ogrepalooza with The Ogretones – Manchester Events Guide
Ogrepalooza is bringing The Ogretones to Manchester for a proper night of live music on Thursday 22 October 2026 at 7pm. If you're after something a bit different from the usual Manchester gig circuit, this one's got novelty written all over it – the band's theatrical approach and quirky energy make it the kind of show that'll give you stories to tell. Whether you're a devoted fan or just fancy a laugh with mates, this is the kind of left-field entertainment that keeps Manchester's live music scene fresh.
The O2 Ritz Manchester on Oxford Road is one of the city centre's best independent venues, sat right in the heart of the action between the Gay Village and Chinatown. It's a legendary spot for catching acts that bigger arenas won't touch, with brilliant acoustics and a capacity that actually lets you see the stage properly. The surrounding area is buzzing with bars and restaurants, so you can make a proper night of it.
Getting there's dead easy – Oxford Road is served by regular buses and it's just a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly train station. Turn up early to grab a drink, soak in the pre-gig atmosphere, and find your spot for what promises to be a memorable evening of live performance. With The Ogretones' reputation for bringing the entertainment, expect a sold-out crowd of enthusiastic locals.
