About This Event

Third Summer presents a cracking night of live music at the Grafton Arms on Oxford Road this August, bringing together Woke Nonsense, Indefinite Articles, and more for an unmissable Saturday evening. At just a fiver, it's brilliant value for catching some of Manchester's most exciting emerging acts in an intimate setting that actually lets you hear the music properly.

The Grafton Arms sits right in the heart of Oxford Road's vibrant music scene, surrounded by independent bars and venues that make this stretch of South Manchester a proper cultural hotspot. This cosy pub's got real character—the kind of place where you'll find everything from quiz nights to live gigs, with a genuine local crowd that knows how to appreciate good music.

Getting there's dead easy: it's just a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly or a quick bus ride into the city centre. Turn up around 7 for the 19:00 start and grab yourself a drink beforehand—the bar's friendly and unpretentious. With an early finish likely, you can easily catch a late bite or more drinks elsewhere on Oxford Road afterwards if the mood takes you.
