Janelle Monae + The KTNA
2024-07-02 19:00 - 2024-07-04 23:59 | Aviva Studios, The Warehouse, Aviva Studios, Water Street, Manchester, M3 4JQ
Three nights at Factory International.

The shapeshifting, multi-talented superstar returns to Manchester this summer for a three-night residency

After an unforgettable, sold-out performance at MIF19, Janelle Monáe is back with a series of electrifying but intimate nights of music.

One of the most celebrated artists of the modern era, Monáe fuses a blend of genres – soul, funk, hip hop and new wave – with big concepts and slick pop productions.

A 10x GRAMMY®-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, performer, actor and fashion icon, Monáe is known worldwide for her inimitable style and visionary sound. In 2023, she released the highly anticipated The Age of Pleasure following a string of celebrated albums – Dirty Computer (2018), The Electric Lady (2013) and The Archandroid (2010).

Beyond music, she is a New York Times best-selling author and co-chair of Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote as well as a recipient of the Critics Choice 2023 SeeHer Award.

With numerous critically-acclaimed theatrical, film and television performances – including roles in Moonlight (2016), Hidden Figures (2016) and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) – and her unwavering activism for social justice and the LGBTQIA+ community, Monáe continues to be one of the most compelling and important artists of this generation.

Support comes in the form of cool and cosmic soul from The KTNA plus a set from the legendary DJ Paulette.

*DJ Paulette is performing on the Wednesday show only.

The Zawose Queens / Ramona Live
2024-07-11 20:00 | Ramona, 40 Swan Street, Manchester, M4 5JG
There is spirit and fire in the music of The Zawose Queens. There’s the vibrations of the ancestors, coming through on traditional instruments — soaring chizeze fiddle, buzzing illimba thumb piano, ngoma drums that chatter and thunder — and voices that go deep, high and out there. There’s the connection to nature, to ceremony and ritual, in their dance-inspired fusion, their blend of the organic, harmonic and modern-day electronic. There are lyrics that tell, in their native kigogo, of the passion for music, the wonders of life. Of pride in environment, in tradition. In their East African roots.

Pendo and Leah Zawose showcase the fluid polyrhythms and rapturous polyphonic singing of the Gogo (aka Wagogo) people of the arid, hilly Dodoma region of central Tanzania.

The most famous exponent of this musical tradition is the late, great Dr Hukwe Zawose (Pendo’s father and Leah’s grandfather).
