10th November 2021 Harry Styles announces one-night-only ‘intimate’ show in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
Harry Styles has announced a surprise gig here on home turf – a one night only party to celebrate the release of his latest album.
The pop megastar will be performing a show at the Co-op Live – the arena in which he’s a major investor, but hasn’t yet played.
The rumours of a hometown (ish – he was born in Cheshire) show for the former One Direction star have been swirling for weeks, and now the man himself has confirmed it’s happening.
The gig will take place on Friday 6 March, the same day that his new album is released.
And shockingly, tickets for the intimate (by his standards) gig will cost just £20.

Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally is set for release earlier that day, and Harry Styles will perform all the songs live for the first time here in Manchester that very same day.
Details are, at the minute, light on the ground – but he’s hinted at tickets being sold by ‘request’.

In a post in Instagram, Harry Styles wrote: “One Night Only. Manchester. Co-op Live. March 6th.
“Ticket requests begin Friday. More details to follow.”
Fans had been dismayed until now that Harry’s Together Together tour was only visiting Wembley Stadium in London for his UK leg.
But now he’s announced the chance to see him on a comparatively tiny arena stage, I think we might have won?

UK pub chain announces bottomless Guinness for the 2026 Six Nations
Danny Jones
As we all know, Guinness and the Six Nations go hand in hand, so pubs not only showing all of this year’s games, but also serving bottomless pints of the good stuff here in Greater Manchester, is an absolute match made in heaven.
With the 2026 Six Nations tournament kicking off this Thursday, 5 February – a France vs Ireland opener in Paris – Manc rugby fans are already nailing down their go-to spots to watch the fixtures.
However, we can’t think of many other places offering bottomless black gold in town, let alone anywhere else in and around Manchester.
So, if you were still unsure of where to watch this year’s tournament, the Social Pub and Kitchen group might have just made the decision for you…
That’s right, this widespread British chain is looking to keep the pints flowing throughout the duration of this year’s competition, thanks to a twist on their standard bottomless brunch format.
Running for every single televised meeting between the much-loved half dozen rugby union teams, all 103 of their locations across the country will be providing this impressive offer on pints.
Here in central Manchester, that includes Tank and Paddle in the Printworks, Crafty Pig on the edge of the Northern Quarter, The Beech Inn in Chorlton, and The Director’s Box right in the heart of the city – and dangerously close to The Manc office…
As well as these nearby venues, there are obviously plenty more around the North West for those slightly further afield, including the likes of Cheshire and Derbyshire.
With a new food menu too, which features several honey-based dishes like the sweet sriracha pizza, chipotle loaded fries, as well as honey chipotle chicken wings, the matchday scran is on point.
So too are the drinks, clearly, and if any of your party wants to stray away from the bottomless Guinness, there are series of special Six Nations-themed cocktails, such as the ‘Midnight in Dublin’, a ‘Peach on the Pitch’ margarita, Baby Velvet, and the bold ‘G-Bomb’.
Yes, we suspect it is as boozy as it sounds.
Running throughout February and March whilst the games are on, we imagine plenty of people will be making at least one Social Pub and Kitchen site their chosen destination for watching all the action.
Even if you happen to be reading this outside of Greater Manchester, you can find your nearest Social Pub and Kitchen and book your table right HERE.
And if you’d still like some other alternatives here in the city centre, you can do no wrong with our helpful little round-up.
