A brand new nightlife venue is opening in Manchester’s iconic Printworks this year, offering music quizzes, live music, karaoke, and food and drink.
Spider Box Manchester promises to be beyond your everyday live music venue, and will be home to the UK’s first digital human DJ, Dex.
The newest edition to the city centre’s legendary entertainment complex has something for your mind, body and soul.
If you think your music knowledge can compete with Popmaster’s Ken Bruce or you have a voice that would put Mariah Carey to shame, then Spider Box Manchester is the place for you.
The venue will be bringing a revolutionary new form of music quizzing – players will have the chance to take part in their own music quiz panel show in Spider Box’s unique tech-centric booths.
Everything is ‘All About You’, as the 2003 McFly classic says, with customisable rounds which are updated regularly with new challenges and games to suit seasonal moments and trends.
Think you can ‘Dance The Night’ like Dua Lipa at Glastonbury or put on a ‘Supersonic’ show as iconic as Oasis in Knebworth? Spider Box has bookable karaoke booths where you can not only sing along but also create an atmosphere with changeable backdrops including music videos and headline slots at music festivals.
After all that singing and dancing you’re sure to be ‘Hungry Like the Wolf’, much like the 1982 Duran Duran hit, and with an incredible food and drink offering, Spider Box really does have all the boxes ticked.
The menu at Spider Box Manchester will feature Middle Eastern classics and Southeast Asian dishes, there’s sure to be something for all palates.
The hangout also features a dedicated space for fans of all interests with a state of the art racing suite where you can emulate the career of legendary driver Lewis Hamilton. The simulated technology provides a first-person virtual POV to the best tracks and circuits in the world placing you in the driver’s seat of some of the fastest cars.
Rob Hetherington, CEO of Spider Entertainment said: “We are thrilled to be bringing Spider Box Manchester to Printworks this September.
“We have considered multiple locations across the UK for our first Spider Box venue, and we are delighted to be opening the first in Manchester, a city rich with music, culture and entertainment.
“We believe we have an immersive entertainment offering like no other and guests can expect an unforgettable day or night with each visit. We will have even more information to come over the next few months so watch this space.”
Dan Davies, Printworks’ Centre Manager, said, “This year marks a transformative period for us as we significantly expand our entertainment offerings following a £21 million refurbishment.
“Spider Entertainment, with its unique concept, will provide our customers with exceptional entertainment for all ages. Additionally, it will offer fantastic food and drink that will stand out in Manchester’s vibrant culinary scene.”
