About Stage And Radio

Stage And Radio is a grassroots music venue in Northern Quarter, Manchester with a standing capacity of approximately 140. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.

Stage And Radio books House, Techno, Electronic, Indie, Live acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Manchester venue directory.

Stage & Radio is a bar, live-music and club venue at 43 Port Street in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter (M1 2EQ), set over three floors in the former Cuba Cafe restored to its 1950s glory. With a capacity of around 140 (and a ~150-cap basement), it runs an eclectic programme of live music, DJ sets and late nights — recurring nights include House Every Tuesday, Back to Base and Transcendence. Sound is handled by Martin Audio systems across all three floors plus a full VOID Air Stasys rig in the basement, so the venue provides house production. Open roughly 2pm to 4am, it leans electronic/club but also hosts live bands. The original DIY 'bring-your-own-PA' description has been corrected — the venue has in-house PA.
