Maze

MAZE return to Manchester for a live date at The Bridgewater Hall on 5 September 2026. Formed in Philadelphia and shaped by the vision of Frankie Beverly, the band carved a fluid blend of R&B, soul and funk built on supple rhythms, warm keys and unhurried grooves. On stage, that sound becomes collective energy: tight interplay, call-and-response, and songs that take their time to let the groove breathe.

Their catalogue still anchors nights where slow-burn ballads rub shoulders with dancefloor steppers. Expect staples like Before I Let Go, Joy and Pain, We Are One, Back in Stride and Can’t Get Over You, revisited by a band that knows how to pace a room and keep the focus on feel. With a rhythm section locking the pulse and melodies carried by keys and guitars, the set moves from laid-back sway to uplift without breaking the flow.

MAZE’s bond with UK audiences runs deep, and this Manchester show leans into that connection without nostalgia, centering the living pulse of the music and the communal vibe that has grown around it. Roame and the group come ready to share the songs that shaped them and the people who follow them, turning a long-running story into a present-tense conversation with the crowd.
