Following two years of disruption, the revival of Manchester’s music scene will soon be further bolstered by the arrival of a brand new 'next-generation' music venue, which opens in the city centre next month. Located within the heart of the Circle Square development off Oxford Road, Canvas Manchester, will boast live music, club nights, a members' lounge and bar and restaurant open until 4am every night.
The 600-capacity subterranean gig venue promises to 'nurture the city’s visionaries of music, culture and the arts’, and will host live gigs from both national and international acts, as well as album launches and listening parties. It will aim to create a 'blank space' for emerging and underground talent.
The venue has been brought to life by BeSixth, who run East London’s The Pickle Factory and Oval Space. Dean James, co-owner and co-founder said: “We’re thrilled to finally open our doors at Canvas.
