Free things to do in Manchester this week FT Aitch Street Art pop-up, The DBA and more

You may have noticed some brand-new street art crop up around town recently — well, turns out it’s to promote Manchester rapper Aitch’s latest track FWG.

The interactive graffiti pop-up, which can be found on Red Lion Street, encourages fans to take a picture with it – making it look like they are wearing the headphones.

The number on the artwork is a real one, and Aitch will actually be taking random calls from fans.

If you fancy a cheap and cheerful night out this Friday, keep The Blues Kitchen on your radar as they’ll be kicking off the weekend with a soundtrack of Soul, RnB and all the best party bangers.

Bounce between The Bar and The Club, which will be dedicated to Hip Hop, Afrobeats and RnB, for a full-evening affair that’ll be sure to get you on the dancefloor.

All about promoting diversity and equality, the lovely lot behind RESET the System are inviting attendees to celebrate the diversity of the city and connect people through art, music, and meaningful conversations.

The full-day event promises workshops on body positivity and gender, experimental music performances, DJ sets and an art exhibition stall.

With an ethos of being ‘as accessible as possible’, low income tickets are available for free but, if you’re able to afford them, tickets on the door cost just a fiver.

Ducie Street Warehouse promises the ultimate weekend celebration jam-packed with a bunch of groovy DJ sets.

From house and techno to disco and funk, these electrifying beats are here to ensure the warehouse vibes are at their very peak.

End the week with a good old community vibe down at The DBA where you can catch the eagerly-anticipated Nothing To Celebrate day-to-night party.

Paying homage to indigenous cultures through dance, music and food, attendees can enjoy a free, community-cooked meal and dance to the music of Abya Yalan cultures played by DJs Atiké, Mami Chula and yeguachita.
