Venue
Manchester’s New Century Hall is a restored Grade II-listed cultural landmark that reopened in 2022 after a £10 million renovation. The venue was originally a 1960s dance hall hosting music legends like Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones.
Kiefer has previously shared his feelings on Manchester, in 2018. He said: “It’s probably the city that’s produced some of the greatest music in the world… It’s pretty intimidating.”
