So, at 9.30pm, the Manichester crowd will be treated to a very special performance from Mani’s Superstars – made up of Manchester music power players and some of Mani’s favourite artists.
According to names already revealed, the supergroup could be made up of the likes of Damon Minchella (Ocean Colour Scene), Zak Starkey (Mantra of the Cosmos), Aziz Ibrahim (The Stone Roses), Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets), Mick Rossi (Slaughter and the Dogs), Dave McCabe (The Zutons), Baz Fratelli (The Fratellis), and Jon McClure (Reverend and the Makers).
There’s also Dalbir ‘Tabla Jedi’ Singh (Paul Weller) Adam Ficek (Babyshambles), Alan Leach (Shed Seven), Tom Manning, Danny Connors (Tom Grennan Band), Rowetta (Happy Mondays) and Tom Meighan (Kasabian) too.
It’s certainly going to be a one-off!
