One of the great musical cities, Manchester’s impact on popular culture makes this walk a perfect way to explore the city—sound by sound.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Tour the city's musical venues, and learn about the legendary bands that call Manchester home.

Your guide has an encyclopedic knowledge of the music scene. If you want trivia and stories, then this is the walk for you, and it’s not all about Oasis, but you will be stopping off in the heart of the city to visit The Boardwalk.

The Northern Quarter is the bohemian area of the city, now known for its independent shops, street art, and music venues. But don’t forget that The Hacienda club, once the epicenter of Manchester’s post-punk and acid-house scene, once stood here, along with the Free Trade Hall where Dylan famously went electric in 1966.

And then there was Madchester… think Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, The Charlatans. The term was coined by Factory Records—and there’s a stop-off there too, to relive the 1980s.

This music walking tour really is a must for any music fan visiting the city.  It lasts for nearly two hours—there’s a lot to cover. Ask any questions, it’s expected. This brings the history to life and makes you love Manchester just a little bit more.
