Sizzlin R’n’B party Off the Hook returns to Kraak

Still buzzing from their Best Gay Night 2012 award from City Life, and ahead of a residency at Manchester International Festival this summer, Off The Hook throw a party to welcome the sun into the city with the usual celebration of all things RnB, hip-hop and African-American pop. The mixed and up-for-it crowd bring the special block-party vibes to this backstreet get-down. Expect a bigger than usual slew of Beyonce and Destiny’s hits following Queen B’s appearance at the Arena this week. Boom.

Sat 11 May, Kraak, Stevenson Square, M1 1DB, 11pm till late, £5. www.kraak.co
