About This Event

Rikas is bringing their distinctive sound to Manchester for a Saturday night performance on Halloween weekend, making this a must-catch gig for anyone into alternative and indie music. This is your chance to experience the artist live at an intimate venue in the heart of the city, with the kind of energy and connection you only get at proper live shows. Whether you're familiar with their catalogue or keen to discover something new, this October date promises to be a memorable night out.

The Deaf Institute on Oxford Road is one of Manchester's finest independent music venues, known for hosting quality artists in a genuine, no-nonsense setting. The converted Victorian building has serious character and maintains an underground feel despite being right in the city centre. It's the sort of place where you can actually hear and see the artist properly, rather than getting lost in a massive crowd.

Getting there is straightforward – Oxford Road is minutes from Piccadilly station and well-served by bus routes across the city. Doors open at 19:00, so arrive early to grab a spot and soak in the atmosphere before Rikas takes the stage. The venue has a decent bar, and given it's Halloween weekend, expect a lively crowd of proper music lovers looking for quality entertainment.
