# Sofia and the Antoinettes at Manchester's The Deaf Institute
Sofia and the Antoinettes are bringing their infectious energy to Manchester on Tuesday 19 May 2026, kicking off at 19:00. This is a brilliant chance to catch a rising talent in an intimate setting, and if you're after a night of quality live music with real character, you won't want to miss it. The band's got that magic blend of style and substance that gets Manchester crowds talking.
The Deaf Institute on Oxford Road is one of the city's best-loved independent venues, known for hosting cracking gigs in a proper no-nonsense atmosphere. It's right in the heart of the action, surrounded by brilliant bars and restaurants, so you can make an evening of it before or after the show. The venue's got real history and integrity – it's the kind of place where the music actually matters.
Getting there's dead easy – it's a short walk from Oxford Road tram stop or Piccadilly station if you're coming in from out of town. Doors open at 19:00, so arrive early to grab a drink and soak in the pre-gig buzz. Dress comfortably, bring cash alongside your card, and expect a lively crowd of proper music fans – this is exactly what Manchester's live music scene does best.
