o2 ritz manchester

The O2 Ritz Manchester is a 1,500 capacity live music venue originally built in 1927.

After being used as a night club the venue was taken over by HMV and refurbished giving it a new life as a live music venue.  It has since been purchased by Live Nation and become part of the O2 Academy Group.

Manchester’s O2 Ritz has hosted bands including The Stone Roses, Arctice Monkeys, Against The Current, Liam Gallagher and more.

Address: Whitworth Street, Manchester.
