Forever Manchester Rocks!

Manchester, get ready to rock! The inaugural Forever Manchester Rocks is coming to Band on the Wall on Wednesday 10th December 2025. 

For one night only, colleagues from Manchester-based businesses will swap spreadsheets for setlists in a high-stakes battle of the bands competition, performing live on stage to a panel of high-profile music industry experts to raise vital funds for the community. Confirmed judges include musician and journalist John Robb, presenter, producer, writer and DJ Matt White, and independent artist Jenna G. 

Expect a night of unforgettable entertainment and trademark Manchester energy, hosted by Radio X Presenter Sophie Sveinsson and sponsored by fintech Zuto.

All money raised will help Forever Manchester to continue funding and supporting over 1,300 community projects each year,  from mental health and disability support groups to junior football teams, food banks, refugee support networks and knit and natter groups.
