Very good concert venue indeed and biggest theatre outside the great metrolops apparantly. RT is on at the Lyric - which I think is the biggest of the three stages they have. I have been to a few gigs there and it is great once you get in. Outside is a bit sad - trendy concrete quays where the old docks used to be but that's progress. If you go you will find the bar is closed after the concert but there is a Lime bar and Cafe Rouge if you want food or drink after. For pre-concert drinks and meals the Lowry itself is quite good. One thing you can always do if you go - paraphrase Salfords own Mr MacColl - "I heard a concert from across the docks..."
