There’s lots to look forward to on the Manchester music and entertainment scene this summer and beyond.

We’ve got a brand new tour announcement from Robbie Williams as well as 2022 Britain’s Got Talent winner Axel Blake, along with two incredible Manchester-based festivals, Sounds of the City and Size? Sessions - plus more.

Take a look below for the full line-up and how you can get your hands on tickets this week.

July 1-8, 2022

Make sure you grab your tickets to this year’s Sounds of the City at Castlefield Bowl.

Pixies - one of the most influential, pioneering bands - have announced their return on July 5, as well as The Libertines who are set to plan on July 1.

Robbie Williams will go on tour later this year bringing his high-octane shows to cities across the UK and Ireland.

Robbie recently announced his new album, XXV, out on September 9 and is now available to pre-order. The record features many of his greatest hits and fan favourites, all re-recorded and newly orchestrated with the Metropole Orkest.

Opening with two nights at London’s The O2, the autumn arena tour will be a joyous celebration of Robbie’s 25 years as a solo artist. The tour will then head to Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin.

Tickets are on sale here now.
