Missed out on grabbing your tickets to the Mamma Mia brunch that’s coming to Revolution Parsonage Gardens in October?
We gave you the heads up on this immersive musical event last week, but after tickets sold out fast, there’s no need to worry if you couldn’t secure your tickets because a new date has been added, meaning the laid-back Greek island lifestyle and Mediterranean sunshine is arriving into Manchester in November as well.
2020 is looking a little brighter now.
This 90-minute brunch experience, hosted by The Brunch Club in partnership with Revolution, will have you singing, dancing and testing your movie trivia knowledge with a bunch of themed quizzes in the aim of trying to win some of the exciting prizes up for grabs.
There’ll also be a costume competition, all of the greatest Mamma Mia / ABBA hits blasting out, and of course a few sing-alongs thrown in there too for good measure.

Along with an inclusive menu of grilled brunches, avocado toast and pancakes – with options available for vegetarians, vegans and those following a gluten-free diet – you can also sip on a tipple or two, from Aperol Spritz and Prosecco, to a range of Revolution-exclusive spirits and cocktails and so much more, all while you sing-along to your heart’s content.
If that wasn’t enough, you’ll also get your own Mamma Mia microphone to take home with you at the end, so it sounds like it’s bound to be a Sunday in the city you won’t go forgetting any time soon.

It’s been nearly eight years since Jordan Stephens and Harley Sulé, otherwise known as iconic British duo Rizzle Kicks, released music together and played to audiences of adoring fans nationwide, instead favouring acting and other solo projects in the meantime – but now, the pair is drawing their indefinite hiatus to a close and heading out on a UK tour in 2025.
The duo, which has sold more than one million singles and 600,000 albums in the UK, is set to peform their first headline show in nearly a decade at London’s iconic KOKO in Camden next month, before they hit the road.
The highly sought-after London show sold out in less than a minute, so it’s expected that eager Greater Manchester fans will also quickly snap up tickets to see the duo’s first tour when they go on sale later this week.
Rizzle Kicks will be arriving in Manchester and taking to the beloved O2 Ritz stage in March 2025, as well as headlining other major cities like Birmingham and Brighton.
Rizzle Kicks – UK Tour Dates 2025
Wednesday 19 March – O2 Ritz, Manchester
Friday 21 March – O2 Institute, Birmingham
Saturday 22 March – O2 Forum Kentish Town, London
Friday 16 May – Brighton Dome
The pair returned in style with comeback single ‘Javelin’ being released this past summer, and have now followed on with this continuation of their mature and evolved sound with new track ‘Gumdrops’ – which offers a nuanced discussion about masculinity and lad culture.
Both singles are taken from a forthcoming, as-yet-untitled, project that sees Rizzle Kicks return to the pop music space sober, in love, and equipped with life lessons, self awareness, and a maturity they’ve built on separately, while still retaining their sense of humour and humanity that sets them apart from other artists.
Rizzle Kicks will perform take to the O2 Ritz stage in Manchester on Wednesday 19 March 2025, and tickets will go on general sale from this Thursday (10 October) at 10am.
