O2 Apollo Manchester
Saturday, November 21, 2026 - O2 Apollo, Manchester
Dr John Cooper Clarke brings Have It Tour 2026 to O2 Apollo Manchester on 21 November 2026, closing an eight-show November run at the venue. Known for rapid-fire delivery and sharply observed verse, Clarke turns the Apollo into a space for spoken word, following on from big band, comedy, folk and pop dates earlier in the month. The theatre setting suits his cadence and timing, allowing every line to land cleanly. As the final night of this sequence, the performance rounds off a varied programme with a focus on language, rhythm and wry storytelling.
