Frankie Mack: Bringing Big-Band Brilliance to Manchester

Drivetime:  8th January 2026

There’s no mistaking Frankie Mack

From his rich Scottish accent to the sparkle in his stagecraft, the Leith-born singer and showman is a performer who thrives on connection — and he’s bringing that irresistible energy to The Stoller Hall, Manchester, on Saturday 17 January as part of his Next Stage Tour.

Catching up with Rob McGowan on the Drivetime show, Frankie spoke with trademark warmth about his latest single Turn Up the Lights and his journey from Edinburgh’s cobbled streets to Las Vegas’s glittering stages.

He might be fresh from a third consecutive Edinburgh Fringe and a sell-out run at the Assembly Rooms, but it’s clear that every show still means something special.

“Manchester has music in its blood,” Frankie told Rob. “This show is about connection and energy. I want every person in that room to walk away believing they can rewrite their own story.”

That sense of optimism runs through everything Frankie does.

His career has seen him share the stage with Michael Bublé at Resorts World, light up audiences at The Tropicana Hotel and The Italian American Club in Las Vegas, and climb the charts with My Woman, My Woman, My Wife — a track that hit number two on iTunes, just behind Taylor Swift.

Each stop on The Next Stage Tour promises an uplifting mix of big-band swing, heartfelt ballads and powerful storytelling. Whether he’s crooning a timeless classic or debuting his latest single, Frankie Mack has a knack for turning every song into a story — and every audience into part of the journey.

With more than fifty thousand followers online and fans from Leith to Los Angeles, Frankie continues to inspire with his message of resilience, music and self-belief.

His Manchester performance promises not just a concert, but a celebration of how far dreams — and determination — can take you.

Tickets for Frankie Mack at The Stoller Hall are available now.

Don’t miss the chance to experience one of the UK’s most charismatic live performers as he brings his story, his voice, and his undeniable showmanship to the heart of Manchester.
