Dozens of musicians, rappers and bands are set to entertain audiences on Manchester stages this October, with a jam-packed gig list from all genres and decades.
September saw a two-day stint from George Ezra at the AO Arena, as well as performances from Fleet Foxes, The Charlatans and Swedish House Mafia - but could Autumn have even more for our music-mad city?
Some of the biggest shows in Manchester this month include many of our homegrown artists returning to the city, such as Morrissey and Peter Hook at the O2 Apollo, Richard Ashcroft at the AO Arena and rapper Aitch at the O2 Victoria Warehouse.
