A constellation of rock ’n’ roll heavyweights will take centre stage this spring as Cast, Peter Hook and The Kowloons, Dave McCabe, Baz Fratelli, Zak Starkey, Steve White, and Jon McClure lead the line-up for Manichester — a major tribute show honouring the life and legacy of Manchester bass icon Gary “Mani” Mounfield.
The one‑night celebration, announced today, will take place at Manchester’s Diecast on Saturday, May 30, uniting artists who played with Mani across decades and those who grew up shaped by his unmistakable basslines. Mani — the rhythmic heartbeat of The Stone Roses and later Primal Scream — died at home in Heaton Moor last November aged 63, sparking a wave of tributes from across the world.
