About This Event

The Big Indie Tribute Festival descends upon Bradford’s Smile Bar and Venue on Friday 11 September 2026, delivering four hours of covers drawn from the last two decades of guitar bands. A live band, alongside DJs and performers, recreates the anthemic choruses and jangling riffs of acts such as Sam Fender and The Killers, filling the room with the kind of singalong energy that defines a classic student union night out. The setlist leans heavily on the indie canon, shifting from landfill-era stompers to more recent festival staples, with the crowd expected to join in at full volume. Expect a night where every chorus is a communal roar and every riff feels like a rediscovery. Tickets are priced at £15, and the music kicks off at 7pm.

THE BIG INDIE TRIBUTE FESTIVAL IS HERE!

The biggest indie tribute festival is set to take the roof off of Huddersfield! Brace yourself for 4 hours of tribute bangers from your favourite indie legends with our LIVE BAND, DJs & performers!

Belt your heart out to seventeen going under, pull up them knee socks and come out of that cage - as we take you on an indie journey you'll never forget at this not-to-be missed live music experience!

ARCTIC MONKEYS SAM FENDER THE KILLERS THE 1975 KASABIAN & MANY MORE!
