Slew heads to The Deaf Institute, Manchester on 26th April for a special headline show, continuing his rise as one of the UK’s most compelling new voices. Fierce and uncompromising, Slew’s independent journey — from West London grime roots to forward-thinking contemporary rap — has carved out a sound that feels both grounded in the underground and pushing beyond it.
Fresh from the release of his independently dropped mixtape WHO ELSE? (Deluxe) via his People Pleasers label, Slew caps off a breakout year that included a sold-out headline at COLOURS and a surprise appearance at Joy Orbison’s fabric clubnight alongside James Blake and Ben UFO. With support from The FACE, DAZED, CLASH, BBC 1Xtra and Radio 1, plus co-signs across the UK scene, this is a chance to catch one of London’s most exciting artists in full headline mode.
This is a 14+ event.

The Deaf Institute is an independent, fun-loving bar and music venue located in a historic Grade II listed building in Manchester. Spread across three floors, it hosts live gigs, comedy, and club nights, offering a unique vibe with its ballroom-style Music Hall featuring a large mirror ball. The venue's Music Hall has a capacity of around 260-300 for gigs, and the entire venue can accommodate up to 500-550 for club nights.
Address: 135 Grosvenor Street Manchester, M1 7HE Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
