This region has produced some of the greatest songwriters of all time; it’s just straight-up facts, and now the brand-new digital docuseries entitled Manchester:Unplugged is set to spotlight that treasured truth online.
Created by StreamGM – the non-profit digital streaming service dedicated to showcasing and supporting the music, nightlife, and culture of Greater Manchester, which evolved from the all-important ‘United We Stream’ project back in lockdown – this is just as much a hometown celebration as it is a show.
They’re the same team behind the Spill The Sound series presented by Louise Schofield, and given they’re now a few seasons deep into old-school music telly, we’d wager this new programme is going to be a similar success.
Getting underway on Thursday, 4 September, the very first episode of Manchester:Unplugged is nearly here. Keep reading to find out more.

Put in the simplest terms, this new series is all about our many marvellous Manc lyricists and the best of local and contemporary songwriting.

The new free-to-watch online documentary series uncovers the stories behind the songs that make Manchester one of the world’s greatest cities for music.
Available via the streaming platform itself as well as uploaded directly to YouTube, each 10-minute episode follows the journey of one song born in the region, from the spark of an idea to the creative process of writing, recording, release and its eventual impact on us listeners.

Better yet, the show is filmed in iconic and grassroots local venues, rehearsal rooms, pubs and creative spaces and more, all portrayed at their cinematic best, blending stripped-back performances with intimate interviews from the artists reflecting on their work.
With a focus on both the city’s rising stars and its more established names,Manchester: Unplugged captures the energy of the city’s diverse and constantly evolving scene, while staying rooted in its ever-growing history and heritage.

Speaking on the new project, producer Laura Graham told The Manc: “Manchester: Unplugged is about more than music, it’s about memory, place, and the moment and reason why a song was brought to life.

“Each episode is a personal narrative by the songwriter. At its core, it’s about meaning and connection: between artist and audience, song and place, past and present.

Oasis Live ’27 ticket prices have been announced ahead of their almighty 2027 stadium tour.

Oasis Live ’27 will also take them to Glasgow, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas, and Slane Castle in Ireland.
Tickets will be sold through a strict fan registration process this year, with only successful registrants even invited to try and buy tickets.

Oasis Live ’27 – how to get tickets to huge Manchester Etihad Stadium run
Daisy Jackson
Oasis are officially heading back out on tour, announcing 11 massive nights at the Etihad Stadium for 2027 – but tickets will work a little differently this time around.
The legendary Manchester band will be running the ticket onsale via a registration process, to give ‘genuine fans the best possible chance of getting tickets’.
Unlike a normal ticket sale, where fans can all battle in queues and waiting rooms to buy tickets in a general sale, this time fans must register to even get in the queue.
They’ve made the decision because of ‘anticipated extremely high demand for Oasis Live ’27’.
Those who fought the Ticketmaster War for Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets will be familiar with the process, but here’s everything Oasis have shared so far.
A registration process will be in place to access the onsale for Oasis Live ’27 – this is the only public way to access tickets.
Registrants will be selected at random to receive a unique code, which will allow you to try and get tickets.
You must use the email used for your Ticketmaster account to register for the process.
Receiving a code does not guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets, but it does get you into the right queue.
There will then be different onsale times and dates for different shows and cities, with ticket onsales taking place between Friday 25 September and Sunday 27 September.
After entering your email, you’ll receive an extra link, where you can rank your preference on cities you would like to see Oasis in.
Fans will then have to answer a trivia question – ‘Which Oasis album was released in 1995?’
Registration for Oasis Live ’27 tickets is open now HERE, and you have until 4pm on Thursday 17 September to register.
