Boris live in Manchester

Experience Boris live on October 14th

Boris, the Japanese experimental rock band, is scheduled to perform at Gorilla in Manchester, United Kingdom on October 14, 2026. The group’s music defies easy categorization, evolving significantly throughout their career since formation in 1992. Initially rooted in noise rock and drone metal, their sound has expanded to encompass elements of shoegaze, psychedelic rock, sludge metal, and even pop sensibilities. They are known for dynamic shifts in volume and tempo, lengthy instrumental passages, and a commitment to sonic exploration. Albums often feature extended compositions and a deliberate blurring of genre boundaries.

Gorilla is a live music venue located in Manchester city centre, specifically on Whitworth Street West. Originally established as a cabaret club in 2001, it was acquired by DHP Family in 2017 and subsequently underwent refurbishment. The venue is housed within a former banana warehouse dating back to the early 20th century, retaining some of its industrial architectural features. It operates as a multi-format space hosting both standing and seated shows with a capacity of approximately 550 people.
