New Order reformed in 2011, and this year will see them hit the road touring the UK and Europe. On the 26th April 2012 New Order will be playing the Manchester Apollo and if you want to see one of the greatest rock bands that the UK has ever produced it is recommended that you be there! If you will be coming to Manchester to see the band live and will require overnight accommodation, serviced apartments could be the ideal option for you. Here at Serviced City Pads we have Manchester serviced apartments across the city, many in great city centre locations. Serviced apartments in Manchester have many advantages over the traditional hotel room as they are able to offer much more space, and most have a kitchen where you can make your own meals – they are the perfect place to relax in during your visit to the city.

New Order rose out of the ashes of Joy Division after Ian Curtis’ suicide in 1980. To have been responsible for one of the best ever bands in Joy Division as Messrs Sumner, Hook and Morris are is impressive enough – to follow it up with a new band formed in such difficult circumstances that goes on to have the impact that New Order did is just astonishing. New Order are undoubtedly one of the most influential bands ever. Their fusion of rock and post-punk with dance rhythms and electronic music was pioneering and their influence can still clearly be seen today on any number of bands. However, it isn’t just for their creativity that the band is revered as they have some absolute classics in their back catalogue like “Blue Monday” and “True Faith” that will no doubt be performed at the Manchester Apollo show. Without Peter Hook (he left in 2007) the rest of New Order along with Gillian Gilbert (the fourth member since their inception) will be performing their greatest hits live.

Serviced apartments in Manchester are still available for the weekend that Tribes will be playing the Manchester Academy. Tribes are a four piece from Camden and will be touring the UK this summer, performing at the Manchester Academy 3 on Tuesday 1st May 2012. If you will be travelling to Manchester to see Tribes play and will be requiring overnight accommodation then why not stay in a Manchester serviced apartment? Serviced apartments are a great alternative to the usual hotel option as they can provide more space at a competitive price. Also, unlike the typical hotel room, the average serviced apartment has a kitchen, a dining area, and a living area which makes them the perfect place to relax whilst visiting the city.

Tribes released their debut album “Baby” last month and they are tipped for big things in 2012. The band, made up of Johnny Lloyd, Dan White, Miguel Demelo, and Jim Cratchley, formed in 2010 and have wasted no time in making their mark on the indie scene. The two EPs they released in 2011 (“We Were Children” and “When My Day Comes”) drew critical acclaim, and meant that their debut full length was highly anticipated. The album has definitely delivered and the band will now have the chance to really make a name for themselves as live performers when they hit the road this year. They have already gained plaudits for their previous live performances, so anyone lucky enough to be attending their show at the Manchester Academy should be in for a great night.

Frankie Boyle will be coming to Manchester in September to play the Manchester Apollo. The controversial comedian’s “The Last Days of Sodom” tour this year will include three nights at the Apollo from the 20th – 22nd September 2012. If you will be coming to Manchester to see Frankie Boyle and will be requiring accommodation for the night, have you considered staying in a Manchester serviced apartment?

The vast majority of serviced apartments have a living and dining area and a kitchen where you can cook your own meals. Apartments in Manchester are an ideal choice for accommodation for visitors to the city, and on the Serviced City Pads website we have a range of options in great central locations that can be viewed by visiting the Manchester city page on our website.

Frankie Boyle is one of the most controversial British comedians of the last few years. He came to everyone’s attention thanks to his role as a regular on TV comedy show “Mock The Week”. Audiences delighted in Boyle’s dark and caustic sense of humour and he has also built up a following through his live shows. Ultimately Boyle was perhaps slightly too dark for the show, leaving in 2009 to concentrate on his own channel 4 comedy show “Frankie Boyle’s Tramadol Nights”. Frankie Boyle’s new live show “The Last Days of Sodom” will tour the UK this year and the Manchester shows will be a great chance for his fans to see him live and uncensored. If you have never been to a Frankie Boyle show before, be warned: it is not for the easily offended!

If you would like to learn more about Manchester apartments for one of the nights that Frankie Boyle is playing the Manchester Apollo you can talk to our reservations team by calling 0844 335 8866 or send us an enquiry through the Serviced City Pads website.

2012 is set to be another big year for John Bishop, one of the breakout comedy stars of the last couple of years. The Liverpool born comic has established himself as one of the most popular comedians around and his UK tour this year will reinforce this when he plays arenas up and down the country. He will be coming to the MEN Arena to play three consecutive nights from the 27th – 29th September 2012 which underlines just how big an act he has become. If you will be travelling to Manchester to see John Bishop’s live show, there are still Manchester apartments available for these dates. Serviced apartments are an increasingly popular choice for those travelling to Manchester as they can offer much more space and comfort than the traditional hotel room.

John Bishop will be bringing his new show “Rollercoaster” to Manchester and the new tour is set to eclipse even his incredibly successful tour last year where he played to over 400,000 people. Bishop is a well established star in the comedy firmament at this point, with regular quiz show appearances as well as his own BBC One show “John Bishop’s Britain”. His easygoing and warm persona has been a big hit with audiences all over the UK, and his new show should be similarly popular.

Here at Serviced City Pads we have a range of city centre apartments that could be ideal for your visit; to see the options for yourself just visit the Manchester city page on our website.

The Martians are going to invade Manchester this December! The latest re-imagining of the award winning stage show “The War of the Worlds” will be coming to the MEN Arena on the 9th December 2012 in what should be an absolutely incredible night for any fans of this classic show. If you will be coming to Manchester to see the show there are Manchester apartments available for the night. Serviced apartments are a great alternative option to hotels, as they have much more space, and are the perfect place to relax in during your stay in Manchester.

“The War of the Worlds” is one of the most beloved stage shows and it is coming back in 2012 with a fresh approach. Hollywood star Liam Neeson will be taking over Richard Burton’s iconic role, but with a twist. Thanks to the latest projection technology, Neeson will be appearing on stage in holographic form as an 11 foot tall head and shoulders floating above the stage. If that isn’t impressive enough, there will also be a 35 foot tall Martian Fighting Machine on stage, which weighs 3 tonnes! It is said that the special effects are truly incredible, with the Martian Fighting Machine “incinerating” a cast member. The show definitely sounds like fun for all the family. Ally all this with Jeff Wayne in the house to conduct the band playing his classic score, and rumoured musical guests, and it should be an incredible night.

If you will be travelling to Manchester for the show and are looking for accommodation, there are serviced apartments in Manchester available for the night. If you would like to find a Manchester serviced apartment for your visit, take a look at the Manchester city page to see the options available.

Now I know what you’re thinking: Isn’t Elvis Presley a bit… dead? Well yes, he is. Still. Not just a bit dead either, but very dead indeed! However, this won’t stop the King of Rock and Roll from touring this year as thanks to the massive advances in video screen and projection technology the man himself will be playing to packed arenas across Europe. The best of Presley’s performances from the early 70s will be brought to life with a projection of Elvis performing his hits along with the band that backed him in his heyday. The very much still alive TCB band, singers, and a full orchestra will be performing live onstage. This show should be like nothing you’ve ever seen before and is an exciting technical leap forward for live shows.

If you will be coming to Manchester to see the King of Rock and Roll and his band at the MEN Arena on the 10th March, then a Manchester serviced apartment could be the ideal accommodation for your visit. Apartments in Manchester are becoming an increasingly popular choice for visitors to the city, as they can offer something different to the usual hotel room.

The mighty Jason DeRulo will be coming to Manchester in March 2012 when he will be on his largest UK tour yet. Jason DeRulo is one of the most exciting new pop stars around and his concert at the MEN Arena will be a great chance for his fans to see him live. If you will be travelling to Manchester for this concert and will be requiring accommodation for the night, have you considered staying in a Manchester serviced apartment? Serviced apartments are an excellent alternative to the usual hotel room as the typical apartment not only has the usual bedroom and bathroom, but also has a lounge area, a dining area, and a kitchen where you can make your own meals. It’s not hard to see why serviced apartments in Manchester are becoming more and more popular.

Jason DeRulo has a knack for making most people feel like underachievers – still only 22 he has established himself as one of the brightest new stars in the pop firmament and is already on his second album. The new album “Future History” is just like its predecessor, the self-titled debut album, in that it has given us some absolute pop gems. To go along with the instant classics “Whatcha Say” and “In My Head”, DeRulo has given us “Don’t Wanna Go Home” and “It Girl”. If you have a ticket to see Jason DeRulo in Manchester then you will see him perform these songs live, complete with dance routines – it should be an amazing night.

Jerry Seinfeld will be performing in Manchester when he returns to the UK on tour next year. 2012 will be the first time that Seinfeld has ever performed in the UK outside of London. Serviced apartments in Manchester are available for anyone travelling to see Seinfeld perform, or for anyone just looking for somewhere to stay in the city on the night of the show.

Jerry Seinfeld is one of the greatest comedians of recent times. He was the star of the incredibly successful show “Seinfeld” which its creators liked to joke was a “show about nothing”. Of course, to describe it this way is to do the show a disservice – it was actually an incredibly funny show about modern life and human foibles and is now acknowledged as one of the best TV shows ever made. This is unsurprising when you consider that along with the brilliant Seinfeld, the other half of the show’s creative duo was Larry David, who would go on to bring us “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. On the 12th May 2012 at the MEN Arena you will have the chance to see Jerry Seinfeld live – it should be an unforgettable night for all Seinfeld fans.

Pearl Jam are one of the biggest live bands around, and next year’s European tour is already being eagerly anticipated by their fans. The sons of Seattle will be playing the MEN Arena on the 20th June 2012 where they will be supported by LA punk rockers X. Pearl Jam recently celebrated their 20th anniversary as a band and whereas other groups of their generation have broken up or faded away, Pearl Jam have continued to make music on their own terms and tour the world to perform for their devoted fans. At the same time as they enjoy the rock and roll dream, they have always kept their social conscience; if you buy a ticket to see Pearl Jam in Manchester, £1.50 will be donated to the Vitalogy Foundation – the foundation gives out donations to worthy causes that are close to the band members’ hearts. However, you shouldn’t go see Pearl Jam just to make the world a slightly better place to live in – you should go and see them because they are an awesome live band, who will be performing songs from throughout their career.
