Nightlife Manchester

The metropolis that never sleeps
From a decadent industrial center to a trendy city with a thriving nightlife , Manchester is today an extremely lively and innovative city, which combines design, research and culture. Famous in the past for its sad industrial landscape and social decadence, Manchester has totally renewed itself in recent decades, thanks to an innovative urban and cultural reconversion, and has transformed itself into an immense laboratory of trends.

Its nightlife is very lively and it also hosts the most famous gay-friendly district in Europe. The old dilapidated factories and abandoned warehouses now house the new trendy clubs, pubs and cafés which give a new look to the old industrial city.

In addition to its famous football teams ( Manchester United and Manchester City ), one of the most important aspects of Manchester is, in fact, its nightlife : it is no coincidence that the city is often referred to by the nickname of "Madchester" (" Mad” in English means crazy) because it is very lively and has a thousand facets.

Manchester's nightlife is in fact one of the most renowned in the whole of England and is able to satisfy every need. Alongside the traditional cafes and pubs, the city is full of discos and clubs that stay open until dawn. The city is home to electronic music and musicians: few cities in the world host so many House and techno artists, singers and djs (among the best in the world).

The city has a distinct fondness for live music and its musical talents make Manchester one of the world's leading venues for rock, indie and alternative music. This city is always a must on the tours of various international bands and most of the concert halls host and have hosted the big names in pop and rock music.
