Manchester's music heritage is woven into the city's identity — generations of era-defining bands came from here, and the venue circuit that produced them still books some of the best gig-going in Britain. The arena takes every major tour, and football is the other religion, with two of England's most famous clubs drawing global audiences.

Gigs here sell on atmosphere as much as lineup — Manchester crowds have a reputation, and artists respond to it. Big football fixtures and hometown-hero concerts are the premium dates; the mid-size venues offer the city's best value night out.

We found at least 64 upcoming events in Manchester, with tickets from $79.
