The shapeshifting, multi-talented superstar returns to Manchester this summer for a three-night residency.
After an unforgettable, sold-out performance at MIF19, Janelle Monáe is back with a series of electrifying but intimate nights of music.
One of the most celebrated artists of the modern era, Monáe fuses a blend of genres – soul, funk, hip hop and new wave – with big concepts and slick pop productions.
A 10x GRAMMY®-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, performer, actor and fashion icon, Monáe is known worldwide for her inimitable style and visionary sound. In 2023, she released the highly anticipated The Age of Pleasure following a string of celebrated albums – Dirty Computer (2018), The Electric Lady (2013) and The Archandroid (2010).
Beyond music, she is a New York Times best-selling author and co-chair of Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote as well as a recipient of the Critics Choice 2023 SeeHer Award.
With numerous critically-acclaimed theatrical, film and television performances – including roles in Moonlight (2016), Hidden Figures (2016) and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) – and her unwavering activism for social justice and the LGBTQIA+ community, Monáe continues to be one of the most compelling and important artists of this generation.
