Victoria Baths Presents… brings music and art together under the beautiful evening glow of Victoria Baths.

For the return of Victoria Baths Presents following 2023s debut event, we are thrilled to be joined by the electric She Drew The Gun.

She Drew The Gun is fronted by Wirral-born songwriter Louisa Roach, who draws acclaim for both her music and the spirit of rebellion carried through songs that rally against injustice and take you beyond fuzzy psych-pop.  Louisa began by playing solo gigs around Liverpool and quickly caught the attention of The Coral’s James Skelly who she began working with her on her debut album, recruiting band members along the way. Winners of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition (2016), BBC Radio 6 Music top ten album (2018), multiple UK tours and three albums with singles consistently play listed by BBC6 Music are all part of She Drew The Gun’s back story. Bringing main stage performance experience from Glastonbury and Blue Dot to the intimate setting of Victoria Baths, making this a must-see gig!

Plus, support from The Redroom – the latest musical powerhouse from the North, fusing elements of alt-indie, blues, jazz, and psychedelic rock.

And a special performance from the wonderful SHE Choir MCR.

Explore the beautiful Victoria Baths as it is transformed into a cultural hub – full of live music, art exhibitions and a fantastic array of food and drink to enjoy.

With some of Manchester’s best street food traders, the Victoria Baths Bar, and exhibitions from artists across the Baths, ‘Victoria Baths Presents…’ is a celebration of the best of Manchester’s creative community!

All ticket and bar sales support the work of the Victoria Baths Trust, the evening promises to be a gig that gives back and gets your foot tapping and soul smiling.
