As 2023 comes to a close, many of us will be looking ahead to what the next year has in store. If you are a fan of gigs and getting to concerts, then there’s a whole range of top acts coming to the region in 2024.
Many of these gigs have all but sold out, meaning that if you were to be going, you’ve already got your tickets. Yet tickets remain available for many more of them, although it's recommended that you don’t wait too long to snap them up.
2024 will be a big year for music in Manchester, with the opening of the brand new Co-op Live arena planned for April. A whole host of gigs have already been announced, with many more set to come.
We’ve rounded up some of the biggest gigs set to take place in Greater Manchester next year. From both Gallagher brothers and a first Manchester gig in many years for Green Day, the bumper year is about to begin.
