The Panamas at SOUP, Manchester
The Panamas are bringing their indie rock energy to SOUP on Saturday 15 August 2026, and if you're after a proper night out in Manchester city centre, this is one worth pencilling in. With tickets just £10, it's a steal for live music that'll get you moving, and the 19:00 kickoff means you've got the whole night ahead of you. This is an 18+ event, so expect a crowd that's here for the music.
SOUP has carved out a real reputation as one of Manchester's best intimate live venues, tucked away in the heart of the city centre where the indie and alternative crowd naturally congregates. The venue's got that perfect sweet spot between being proper professional and keeping that grassroots, no-nonsense Manchester vibe that locals love. It's the sort of place where you can actually hear the band and have a decent chat without bellowing.
Getting there's dead easy – SOUP's right in the city centre, so it's a quick walk from Piccadilly or any of the main tram stops. Turn up early to grab a decent spot near the stage and maybe get a pint in before things kick off at seven. The crowd tends to be friendly, and the bar staff know what they're doing, so you're in for a solid Saturday night out.
