Everything you need to know about Michael McIntyre’s MAGNIFICENT tour at AO Arena

Dads, we do hope you kept your tickets in the 'man drawer'.

British comedy legend Michael McIntyre is rolling back into Manchester this weekend for a double bill of his brand-new tour, MAGNIFICENT at the AO Arena.

Still one of the biggest names in UK comedy and always delivering a reliable and largely family-friendly performance (this being a 14+ show), he’s set to pack out the legendary Manc entertainment venue this Friday and Saturday.

Despite being a household name for the best part of two decades now, this latest show is actually his first stand-up tour in five years and has already received pretty solid reviews from the likes of Chorlte , so it’s great to see him back out on the circuit.

With all that in mind, we thought we’d provide those going along to either of his two Manchester shows with all the info you need.

Are there tickets left?

First off, if you’re still looking to grab tickets to see Michael McIntyre at Manchester’s AO Arena , although the Sunday is sold out there are still a fair few tickets left for the Friday, 22 March show.

With the cheapest tickets starting from just £34.50 and the closest seats going all the way up to £147.06, you can pretty much have your pick of the bunch.

As always, if you’re feeling like being a bit posh and treating yourself (you always deserve it, as far as we’re concerned), you can of course spring for the more premium hospitality packages like the Electric Lounge’s Champagne Experience. You can find the full gamut of tickets HERE .

Warm-up act and stage times for Michael McIntyre’s Manchester show

As for stage times, comedy shows at the AO Arena skew slightly earlier than the likes of your live music in Manchester but we can still let you know how long you can expect to be there.

Doors are set to open from 6pm on both nights but the jokes won’t start flying until 8pm, so you’ll have plenty of time to grab a drink, something to eat, nip to the loo etc.

With opening support act Jake Lambert — who has also turned with the likes of industry heavyweights Romesh Ranganathan and Jack Dee — set to take the stage for a 20-minute warm-up set at 8pm, McIntyre isn’t due on until 8:20pm, and his roughly 75-minute set will take you up to 22:10pm, so you should be out well before the venue’s curfew at 11pm.

How to get to the AO Arena and other travel info

The AO Arena is right in the heart of the city centre, so it’s fairly easy to get to.

The AO Arena is located within the Manchester Victoria Station complex in the city centre, on the corner of Trinity Way, Hunts Bank and Great Ducie Street. You can enter through the station (up the stairs), through the Trinity Way Tunnel, or from Hunts Bank.

By tram:  Also super straight-forward – hop off the tram at Manchester Victoria and you’re right by the stairs to the venue. It’s also a short walk from Exchange Square and Shudehill. Trams run directly to Victoria Station from Rochdale, Bury, Altrincham, East Didsbury and the Airport.

By train:  While Piccadilly is the city’s largest train station, plenty of trains do pass through Manchester Victoria. You can plan your journey through the  National Rail website .

Parking:  The postcode if you’re driving to the AO Arena is M3 1AR. There’s an on-site CitiPark car park with 958 spaces, which can be pre-booked  here . Bear in mind that Trinity Way is closed after concerts to allow gig-goers to leave safely, though cars are allowed out of the car park with directions from staff.

About the AO Arena

The AO Arena has a few strict policies to keep gig-goers safe, so make sure to check entry requirements carefully before you travel.

For example, only one small bag per person is allowed, and bags like backpacks, travel cases and laptop bags are not permitted inside the arena.

All bags are scanned on entry to check for prohibited items like laser pens, flares, projectiles, weapons, drugs and alcohol, and even selfie sticks.

• Steven Knight confirms Cillian Murphy will be returning for the Peaky Blinders film
• Meg Thee Stallion announces massive Manc gig on Hot Girl Summer Tour – how to get tickets

We hope that should be everything you need to know ahead of Michael McIntyre’s two Manchester shows this weekend.

The veteran comic also recently had to postpone a show in Southampton after undergoing surgery at the start of the month, so we’re glad to hear he’s back fit, fighting and funny.

Also, if you’re looking for somewhere for a classy drink and a nice bite to eat, then the brand-new Mezz restaurant is the perfect spot for some pre-gig fun.

Can you believe we’re already into our last full week of April, and May is right around the corner?

So far, April has been full of foodie festivals, cultural celebrations, wholesome spring-themed events, and so much more – and thankfully, there’s more where that came from as there’s loads more in the Greater Manchester social calendar for everyone of all ages to be getting involved with throughout this week too.

If you’re finding it a bit tricky to pick what to do, we’ve chosen a few of the best bits for another edition of our ‘ what’s on ‘ guide.

Here’s some of our recommendations.

Bloomtown Blossom Trail

Manchester City Centre

Monday 22 April – onwards

Manchester never looks better than it does when all the blossom trees burst back to life, right? Well now there’s a walking trail through town that shows off the best bits.

From the iconic purple blooms outside the Central Library, to the surprising sprays that pop up in the middle of Ancoats, there are pretty colours appearing all over, so the National Trust is once again shining a spotlight on Manchester and bringing back its new-and-improved Bloomtown Map.

There are 39 spots all over the city centre (and slightly beyond) included along the route, each one showcasing one of the city’s most picturesque locations.

Find out more about 2024’s trail here .

Tales of Manchester 2.0

Kimpton Clocktower Hotel

A brand-new art exhibition curated by visual artist Emma Evans in partnership with six other creators is now open in Manchester, and it’s completely free to visit.

Tales of Manchester 2.0 down at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is a collection of multi-platform art celebrating our brilliant city, and it’s showcasing six spoken word pieces by established Manchester based poets – Griot Gabriel, Ilaria Passeri, Lisa O’Hare, Mark Jackson aka Keith’s Brother, Matt Concannon aka The Thirsty Poet, and Sarah Attwell.

The spoken word is paired with visual pieces painted by self-taught artist Emma Evans, where the words have served as inspiration for the art.

The Manchester College ‘Greater Mancunians’ Exhibition

Manchester Central Library

Photography students from The Manchester College will be showcasing their ‘Greater Mancunians’ project as part of a landmark exhibition at Manchester Central Library’s Main Exhibition Hall from this week.

150 students have participated in the groundbreaking photography project, and it features images of some of Manchester’s most famous and influential people shot at numerous locations across the city.

More than 100 contributors are featured in the project, including musicians Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr, athletes Diane Modahl and Ricky Hatton, local politicians Andy Burnham, Angela Rayner, and Bev Craig, actors Maxine Peake and Bill Roache, artists Stan Chow and AKSE P-19, and other local figures like Jonathan Warburton, Simon Martin, and Professor Erinma Bell MBE.

Did you see that one of the biggest charity shops has recently opened here in Greater Manchester?

The independently-run Regenerage superstore is the newest resident at the massively-popular Middlebrook Retail Park in Bolton.

Inside the huge 10,958 sq ft store, shoppers can find everything from ladies and menswear, to homeware, furniture, and children’s clothing too, plus books, and new white goods – including washing machines, fridge freezers, and more.

There’s also a specially-created bridal and occasional wear department too.

And if all of that didn’t sound brilliant enough as it is, there’s even the chance to get your hands on designer brands like Vivienne Westwood, Ralph Lauren, and Armani, all without the hefty price tag.

Science and Industry Museum

Did you know there’s a huge gaming event currently happening in Manchester?

With more than 160 consoles and hundreds of games to play, Power UP is back for more in 2024 down at the Science and Industry Museum, and it’s taking ticket-holders on a journey through five decades of gaming every weekend.

There’s everything from retro arcade games, to state-of-the-art virtual reality, and so much more to get stuck into, and each ticket includes unlimited play all day.

Find out more about the exhibition here .

Pieminister’s Bottomless Brunch

Pieminister

We’re used to it being wet and miserable most of the year, and while we do love Sunday lunch on a sun-soaked afternoon in the beer garden when we get the chance, nothing warms the cockles more on those darker days than a giant plate piled high with roasted meats, vegetables, and gravy.

We’ve got a treat for you – a rare chance to try and get yourself tickets to see Taylor Swift live in concert, on the European leg of The Eras Tour.

The enormous tour is already the highest-grossing the world has ever seen, worth more than $1 billion.

Taylor Swift’s mammoth three-and-a-quarter hour live show has driven so much demand for tickets, ticketing platforms had to change their usual models so their websites didn’t crash.

These tickets are gold dust – but now we’ve got a couple of VIP ones up for grabs, completely free.

The Manc has teamed up with the AO Arena and its brand-new members-only restaurant and bar The Mezz for huge giveaway.

The grand prize is an all-expenses paid trip to see Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour in Stockholm.

It includes two VIP tickets to the show itself on Saturday 18 May, plus two return flights to to Stockholm from Manchester, and accommodation for two at the Quality Friends Hotel in Stockholm.

While you’re at the show at the Friends Arena, you’ll have a £250 bar tab to enjoy.

And when you return home to Manchester, your new VIP lifestyle will continue, with two annual passes to The Mezz for the rest of the year.

That gets you access to The Mezz’s incredible restaurant space – where the menu is designed by Michelin chefs Simon Rogan and Tom Barnes – and huge exclusive bar area.

And then you can enter the AO Arena itself through The Mezz’s designated doors to watch any show you fancy from the best seats in the house.

All you need to do to win is head to our Instagram page here or click on the post at the end of this article.

Make sure you’re following the AO Arena , The Mezz , The Manc , and The Hoot Leeds on Instagram.

Tag who you’d take with you on this once-in-a-lifetime trip in the comments, then share to your story for an extra chance to win (don’t forget to tag us!).

Man Utd legend Eric Cantona performs at London concert as he continues his international tour

• Published : 19:33 ET, Apr 18 2024
• Published : Invalid Date,

MANCHESTER United legend Eric Cantona is on song again — this time in concert.

The French footie ace, 57, known to United fans as King Eric, continued his international tour at, appropriately, Kings Place, North London.

Cantona released first single The Friends We Lost last June after retiring in 1997.

On starting his music career, he said: “Music has always been a part of my life. I’ve always had music playing.

“Why start today, so many years later? Simply because I lacked the time before”.

He finishes his UK leg in Manchester tomorrow.

Some fans were recently left confused after seeing the former footie ace performing on the Michael McIntyre show.

He was seen in a red cardigan while wearing a hat and glasses.

Reacting to the performance on X, formerly known as Twitter, fans appeared rather confused at the sensational showing.

One fan said: "Why is  Eric Cantona  performing on Michael McIntyre’s #BigShow? I have never been more confused!."

Peter frampton refuses to give up playing live: ‘i’m a fighter’.

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 09: Peter Frampton joins Billy Joel on "Show Me The Way" and "Baby I Love Your ... [+] Way" on Joel's 70th birhtday and his 64th consecutive sold out show of his residency at Madison Square Garden on May 9, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Myrna M. Suarez/Getty Images)

Peter Frampton has been a guitar legend for decades. He’s adored by millions for his creativity and excellent playing skills, and he has no issue selling out huge shows, even after so many years in the business. For a while, it looked like the rocker was done performing live, following the diagnosis of a debilitating disease, but now he’s confirmed that he’s not giving up.

“Every note I play now is so much more important to me because I know one of the notes I play will be the last I play within my lifetime,” Frampton recently told the San Diego Union-Tribune in a new interview. The rocker just finished his Never Say Never tour, which took him around the U.S. throughout March and April of 2024.

In the chat, Frampton was referring to the fact that there was a time when he thought he’d have to stop playing live. In 2019, he revealed that he’d been diagnosed with inclusion body myositis (IBM), which leads to muscle weakening. He assumed he had a limited window of time left to play his music live, so he booked what was then marketed as a final tour.

Two years after a farewell trek concluded, Frampton still feels up to performing for huge crowds, though some changes have been made to his stage show. “What I have to do now is create new ways (to play),” he shared, which is evident to anyone who attends one of his concerts. Frampton now plays sitting down, and when he walks, he uses a cane.

Despite these setbacks and difficulties, Frampton is defiant, and it seems he is intent on continuing to play, perhaps for as long as he can. “I’m a fighter and I’m not giving up,” he told the California-based newspaper. “I have weakness in my fingers, yes, but I have created different paths to get to the end point of what I want to play.”

JPMorgan Joins Goldman Sachs In Serious Bitcoin Halving Price Warning

Google makes another new sale offer to pixel 8 buyers, ibotta ipo reportedly raises 577 million above marketed range.

Frampton even seems to be enjoying changing things up after so much time, even if he has to do so because of a less-than-ideal reason. “For the things I think of that I can’t play, I quickly work out what I can do at that point, and it’s different and I like it,” he stated. Frampton added that sometimes he thinks, “Wow, I wouldn’t have played it that way (before).”

Some musicians would be upset about their physical limitations, and they’d have every reason to be. Frampton may harbor some of those feelings, but outwardly, he’s remaining optimistic. In fact, he seems downright thrilled to be where he is at this moment.

“Right now, I’m basically having the time of my life,” Frampton shared in the interview. “I can’t believe the audiences and I can’t believe where I am at in my career at this point. I never thought I’d be back playing at this level. So, every day is a great day for me.”

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
