Castlefield Bowl is Manchester’s music Mecca. The Albert Hall is a stunning venue, but the exclusivity of Castlefield Bowl sees it sit on top of the thrown.
For one week every year, 8,000 people rock up every night and dance in the sun, as the typical Manchester weather takes a break to allow the amphitheatre to run perfectly, for crowds to dance the night away without a parka or cagoule on, as the trains roll past and every band delivers a career-best show.
There’s something in the air at Castlefield Bowl, the venue wows every band that graves its stage and steps up their performance, ensuring this night is the most memorable of their career.
Bloc Party were no different, rattling through their stunning debut LP, there was a release of energy and euphoria as the crowd inhaled the nostalgia, dancing and moshing along. Under showers of confetti and the fading sunset, Mancunions rejoiced. Summer is here, Castlefield is here.
