International 2

The International 2 was a live music venue located at Plymouth Grove in Manchester, England. It existed at the same time as The Haçienda and other clubs in the late 1980s that were gaining in popularity. Gareth Evans owned the nightclub and was also the manager of The Stone Roses who also frequented the club.

The International 2 was notable as being the live music component of the Manchester music scene and being the base for The Stone Roses who were credited as producing one of the finest British albums of all time.[1] This was written whilst they were part of the scene at the International 2. The nightclub is featured in the first seconds of a Stone Roses promotional video for their single "Sally Cinnamon".[2] The story of the International 2 is documented as part of the Blood on the Turntables series.

The International 2 building was demolished and replaced by a gated apartment building complex.
