Iconic Manchester venue that's seen everything from The Rolling Stones to Acid House all-nighters

Holding a unique place in Manchester's musical heritage, one venue has seen it all.

Built in 1963 the corner of Corporation Street and Miller Street, New Century Hall has been a fixture of the city's music scene for 60-years. Built originally as a state-of-the-art dance hall, it went on to host some of the world's biggest music artists including Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Tina Turner and The Bee Gees.

In the 1980s, the hall also found itself at the heart of the Manchester's rave scene, hosting Acid House all-nighters. Perhaps something you would more expect to see in a converted warehouse not a Grade II listed concert hall.
