# Rusty Strings and the Bone Shakers at ICONS Manchester
Rusty Strings and the Bone Shakers are bringing raw, energetic live music to Manchester on Saturday 25 April 2026, and the best part? It's completely free. If you're after a proper night out without breaking the bank, this 21:00 gig at ICONS is exactly what you need—expect gritty blues-rock vibes and a crowd that knows how to have a good time.
ICONS sits right in the heart of Manchester's live music scene, a venue that's earned serious respect for hosting quality independent and established acts week in, week out. The intimate setup means you'll actually feel the energy from the stage, and the acoustics are spot-on for a band like this. It's the kind of place where you bump into other music lovers and discover your next favourite band.
Head down early to grab a decent spot near the stage and soak up the pre-gig atmosphere. The city centre location means plenty of bars and food spots nearby if you want to grab something before or after. Just remember it's 18+ only, so bring valid ID—no exceptions. Fair warning: it'll get sweaty and loud, which is exactly why you'll love it.
