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.

• 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.

Beyond The Music (BTM) will once again take over Manchester later this year for the second year of the new music festival and conference and the full lineup has now been released.

Providing a spotlight for up-and-coming artists as well as addressing some of the most demanding issues in the music and content industry today, it’s much more than just a live festival.

BTM has announced the second wave of artists for their lineup this Fall and it’s looking incredible. From DJs to solo artists and bands, this festival has it all with a huge selection of genres to choose from,

Some of the new artists set to play across the Northern Quarter this October feature Aussie indie rock band The Vanns, Riya, Alien Chicks, Zola Courtney, Coults, Jaws the Shark, Human Interest, local singer-songwriter Renee Stormz and more. There’s something for everyone

One thing that sets this festival apart from the rest is that the organisers prioritise curating a line-up with new talent, as opposed to huge headliners. This provides a platform for the artists to be seen and get the recognition they deserve.

Over 200 artists have been announced across the jam-packed three nights, with performances spread across thirteen venues around Manchester around NQ . 

This year’s venues include:

• Off The Square. 
• 33 Oldham St
• Aatma. 
• Castle. 
• Gullivers 
• Band On The Wall Bar
• Matt ans Phreds
• Night and Day Cafe
• Stage and Radio.

You can view the full Beyond The Music lineup for 2024, a complete list of festival partners and more down below:

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyond The Music (@gobeyondmcr)

As the name would suggest, it’s about much more than just the tunes.

Beyond The Music will open up the floor for honest and revealing conversations about the experiences of marginalisation within the music industry.

The festival will be holding a conference at Aviva Studios – home of Factory International – including talks with the likes of the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, and The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess.

This isn’t just a celebration of the Manc music scene: these figures are hoping to come together and discuss important matters within the industry and wider entertainment culture.

• Justin Timberlake at Co-op Live, Manchester – the Prince of Pop’s still got it
• Tickets for Kendal Calling Festival’s 20th anniversary are already live and selling out fast
• Ziggy Alberts at Albert Hall – the warm waves of Aussie folk land in Manchester

Better still, access to the festival is now more affordable than ever. A standard Delegate Pass (including conference and festival access) is priced at £170, a single-day ticket is only £20, and a full three-day pass can be purchased from just £40. 

Set to take place from 9-12 October, you can purchase yours HERE .

We can’t wait to discover some new talent – see you there!

August is really in full swing now.

Not only have little Mancs across the region broken up for the school holidays, but the sun has even been showing its face over the past couple of weeks too, so it’s pretty hard to deny that summer is here now – and thankfully, Greater Manchester ‘s social calendar is packed full events and activities to celebrate.

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

Here’s some of our recommendations.

Did you see that Warburtons and Morrisons have teamed up to give away 100,000 crumpets for FREE this summer?

In a bid to help “alleviate holiday hunger” and ease the additional financial strain often put on parents, carers, and guardians when children are not at school, the supermarket chain and Bolton-based bakery are relaunching their popular ‘Ask for Ellen’ initiative.

This means that anyone and everyone who ‘asks for Ellen’ at one of the 395 Morrisons cafes across the UK will be given toasted crumpets with a choice of topping, completely for free with “no questions asked”.

The offer will be available all day every day from until 25 August, while stock lasts.

One of Greater Manchester’s best-loved outdoor dining concepts has returned for 2024, and there’s a proper tasty lineup of traders.

‘Kargo on the Docks’ – which is MediaCity‘s al fresco dining pop-up, in place of the former Box On The Docks – has had itself a bit of a “glow up” and has taken over the waterfront and gardens with a fresh wave of local food traders and stunning artwork by Salford-based creatives, all as the sun shines down on Salford Quays this summer.

Did you see that Manchester’s LEGOLAND Discovery Centre has launched half-price kids tickets over the summer holidays?

As the rising cost of living crisis unfortunately continues to make its impact felt across the UK, the popular Trafford Palazzo attraction wants local families to “say yes to real fun”, and is on a mission to help parents, carers, and guardians entertain their little ones as schools are out, all while keeping pennies in their pockets.

Picnic in the Pool 2024

Victoria Baths

Picnic in the Pool will take over the historic building’s empty Gala Pool at the heart, and families are invited bring their “tastiest treats, cosiest blankets, and snuggly cushions” and pop along for afternoon of fun.

Advanced booking is advised, and you can find out more here .
