Vintage line up. 45 quid for Manchester academy I see. Not the best of venues in Manchester to honest. The ritz is miles better
A lot om early gigs were in London and the south coast. However, now I generally make excursions to Manchester. There are some really good venues in Manchester. Yes, the Ritz is great especially when the audience jumps up and down on the suspended floor. I love the Albert Hall as well (saw Suede and PJ Harvey there). The Academies are good - all 4 of them. The Apollo is also alright especially if there is standing downstairs. And then there is the Arena - only a few bands are good there (e.g. Rammstein and Sabbath). Never bothered with Castlefield - too much risk of being pissed in by the rain!

. The academies 2 3 4 are decent enough venues but 1 is like a old school assembly hall which a lot of the time seems to struggle with the sound The Apollo is much better especially nowadays with it been all standing downstairs unlike the 70s and 80s. I have been the castlefield bowl and it was ok It never rains in Manchester so don’t let that put you off. As far as venues go in Manchester you won’t find anything or anywhere better than the star and garter proper little old school pub venue absolutely brilliant night out
