Ray LaMontagne brings his iconic "Trouble" album to Manchester for a special 20th anniversary celebration on Wednesday 27 May 2026 at the O2 Apollo. This intimate acoustic tour marks two decades since the release of one of folk-soul's most beloved records, giving fans the chance to hear classics like "Trouble," "Trouble," and "Gossip in the Club" performed live with the artistry that's made LaMontagne a legendary figure in contemporary folk music.
The O2 Apollo Manchester sits right in the heart of the city's entertainment district on Stockport Road, hosting some of the biggest names in music since 1938. Known for its legendary acoustic properties and storied history – everyone from The Beatles to Prince has graced this stage – the Apollo offers an unmissable venue experience that captures Manchester's musical soul.
Doors open at 19:00, so arrive early to soak in the venue's historic atmosphere and grab a drink from the bar. With LaMontagne's shows typically selling out fast, booking ahead is essential; getting into the city centre is straightforward via Metrolink or regular buses. Expect an evening of stripped-back, emotional performances that showcase why this American folk-soul artist remains a favourite among Manchester's discerning music fans.
