Manchester’s got a serious history with rock - and you can still feel it every time the amps fire up. From the attitude of The Stone Roses to the anthems of Oasis, this city made noise that stuck. Manchester rock events ring from the walls of its clubs and venues, and the sound is now a central part of the fabric of the city. Check out the best live rock concerts in Manchester below.
