About

First opened in the 1960s, New Century has long played a role in shaping Manchester’s music story. Step into a venue that has played host to true music icons, think the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner and The Rolling Stones, which has helped to weave the venue into the city’s cultural fabric.

After a major restoration, New Century has been brought back to life with care and attention to detail. Much of its original mid-century character remains from the sprung dance floor to the distinctive ceiling, now paired with modern sound, lighting and flexible event spaces.

If you’re ready to experience a different side to the Manchester music scene, a visit to New Century is a must! Located right between Manchester Victoria Station and Shrudehill, New Century has remained a hub for music, events and a buzzing social scene that attracts both locals and tourists.
