Listing notesProjekts MCR Skatepark is an independently run skate park beneath the Mancunian Way flyover behind Manchester Piccadilly station, at 41 Baring Street (M1 2PY), doubling as one of the city's most distinctive live-music spaces. Alongside skate classes, a cafe and a shop, it has partnered with DIY promoters Sour Grapes Records to run WAX, billed as the UK's only recurring gig night staged in an open-air skatepark, where skaters session the bowls alongside live bands and a private bar. The programme leans into touring garage rock, psych, post-punk and punk, with acts such as DEADLETTER and Shame booked through 2026, and the Meltchester festival returning to the park. On 5 September 2026 it again carried an outdoor stage for Manchester Psych Fest, sitting alongside Manchester Academy, the O2 Ritz, YES, the Deaf Institute, Gorilla and The Bread Shed on the Oxford Road Corridor. The park itself is a 1,400 sq m concrete bowl complex; note that Baring Street parking is currently restricted by construction work, with an alternative car park of roughly ten spaces around the corner.
