Plus Special Guests.
Legendary singer-songwriters John Grant, and Richard Hawley come back together for this very special Summer Party on Sunday 9 August for a celebration of the late legendary country star - Patsy Cline.
Originally commissioned by Factory International for Manchester International Festival 2023, this unique collaboration brings together two modern-day icons to perform Cline's beloved repertoire. John Grant, renowned for his searing wit, tenderness, and commanding stage presence, will lend his powerful vocals to the proceedings, while Richard Hawley and his band, often considered one of the best live acts in the UK, will provide their signature sound, taking the audience on a musical journey through Cline's beloved hits, reimagining them with unique artistry and emotional depth.
Drawing from a songbook full of classics like Walkin' After Midnight and Crazy, audiences will hear the crème de la crème of country pop from Grant and Hawley.

Our Summer Parties take place outdoors on the Parade Ground and are all unreserved standing events. Limited general seating is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
Customers with access requirements who hold a Nimbus Access Card are welcome to book a place in our dedicated accessible area, which includes limited seating and space for wheelchairs. Please book as usual via our website or contact us in advance so we can support you with the arrangements.
