The Keep Walking Live: Manchester programme is a three-day city-wide music takeover organised by Johnnie Walker and global radio platform NTS. Running from 13 to 15 March 2026, the initiative activates venues across Manchester including SOUP, New Century, Eastern Bloc and Impiety Hour. The programme brings together local artists and international performers such as DJ EZ, KOKOROKO, Venna and Nubya Garcia. All net ticket proceeds from the events will be donated to Manchester-based music charity Brighter Sound to support local artist development and grassroots music programmes.
The programme opens at Northern Quarter venue SOUP with a night dedicated to UK garage and bass music led by DJ EZ alongside Manchester DJ Anz, Finn, KD22LR and Tyronwithnoe. Saturday features DJ workshops at the NTS Manchester studio and a showcase at Eastern Bloc before an evening concert at New Century with KOKOROKO and Venna performing live. The weekend concludes with the Sunday Slow Down at Impiety Hour, including listening sessions, panels and a closing performance by Nubya Garcia supported by Space Afrika and Oriki.
