# RnB, Hip Hop + Afrobeats 'Til Late at The Blues Kitchen
If you're after a proper night of RnB, Hip Hop and Afrobeats in Manchester, this free event at The Blues Kitchen on Friday 1 May 2026 is exactly what you need. Kicking off at 7pm and running late into the night, it's the perfect spot to catch live sounds and DJ sets that'll keep the dance floor moving. Best of all, there's no entry fee, so you can spend your money on drinks instead.
The Blues Kitchen sits right in the heart of Castlefield, one of Manchester's most vibrant neighbourhoods packed with bars, restaurants and canal-side atmosphere. This venue's known for hosting quality live music events and creates a proper intimate setting whether you're stood at the bar or dancing. It's the kind of place where the crowd's always welcoming and the vibe's genuine.
The 21+ age restriction keeps things mature, so expect a grown-up crowd ready for a quality night out. Getting there's straightforward – Castlefield's just a short walk from Deansgate or Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop. Arrive early if you want a decent spot near the stage, grab a drink, and settle in for what should be a top night of proper music.
