There are some seriously good gigs lined up this month in Manchester, from ex-Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan and Queen + Adam Lambert, to some nostalgic acts like JoJo and Avril Lavigne.
And for the most part, there are still tickets available from as little as £16.99. Last month Dua Lipa, Craig David and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson took to stages across the city to entertain audiences, and now they’ve passed the baton over to Little Mix, Marina and Pet Shop Boys for the month of May.
Blondie put on a show at the AO Arena last night, with more huge artists set to take over city venues throughout the month, as well as the popular Neighbourhood Weekender.
