The Tubs live in Manchester

Experience The Tubs live on September 26th

The Tubs are scheduled to perform at The Deaf Institute in Manchester, United Kingdom on September 26, 2026. The Tubs create music generally described as post-punk, drawing influence from bands like Wire and early Television. Their sound is characterized by angular guitar work, driving rhythms, and often sardonic lyrical content. Formed in the early 2010s, they have released several EPs and albums to critical acclaim within independent music circles, noted for their energetic live performances.

The Deaf Institute itself is a multi-faceted venue located in the heart of Manchester’s University district. Originally built in 1907 as a deaf school – hence the name – the building retains many of its original architectural features including a gymnasium which now serves as the main performance space. It underwent significant renovation and reopened as a bar, restaurant and music venue in 2008. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere and eclectic programming, hosting a range of musical acts alongside club nights and other events. Its interior design incorporates elements reflecting its history as an educational institution while maintaining a distinctively modern aesthetic.
