Maxwell Hall

Gruff Reece performing in Maxwell Hall to a large audience.

A humdinger of a venue and one we are delighted to be back at for SFTOC 25.

Maxwell Hall, located on the Peel Campus at University of Salford, has a rich history. Its hosted some of the world’s biggest acts from the late 60s into the early 80s including Blondie, The Smiths, U2, Wings, Joy Division and Pulp.

Since then it’s been a sleeping giant at the heart of the University and we are honoured to be starting a new chapter and a bringing a whole new generation of legendary performances to the space.
