Calling all dancing, singing, musical-loving queens!
We love a themed sing-along event, not just for the fancy dress opportunities, but because they’re a safe space where we can embrace our musical obsessions and sing our hearts out, judgment-free! Read on for six fabulous sing-alongs happening right here in Manchester this year.
1. Sing-Along ABBA Disco (April 26)
Calling all dancing queens! A sing-along spectacular dedicated to our favourite disco Swedes is coming to Gorilla in April. Organisers are promising a fun-filled, sing-along night at one of Manchester’s favourite hangouts. From 11pm until midnight, guests can expect the best disco tracks to get them in the mood before the night turns strictly ABBA only until 2am.
The event will end with a mash-up of ABBA and the best disco and dance classics, with song lyrics projected on the wall for anyone who needs them (but we’re sure you already know the lyrics better than Benny, Anni-Frid, Björn and Agnetha themselves).
