The Backroom in Leeds will host an afternoon of indie music on Saturday 3 October, running from 3pm to 7pm. Aimed squarely at the over-30s, the event brings together DJs from Old School Indie, Feeling Gloomy and Age Against The Machine. They will spin a mix of classic and alternative indie tracks, filling the venue with the sound of jangling guitars, driving basslines and familiar choruses. The atmosphere is expected to be relaxed yet energetic, with a crowd that knows the songs and is there to enjoy the music without the late-night rush. Tickets are priced at £9.50, and over two-thirds of the allocation have already been sold.
