An Afternoon Of Indie will take place at The Deaf Institute in Manchester on 30 January 2027. The event is aimed at an over-30s audience and will feature a mix of indie classics from various decades. The party will run from 15:00 to 19:00.
After countless sold out events at The Deaf Institute, the U.K's biggest indie party returns to Manchester again for an afternoon of non-stop indie bangers to help blow away those new year blues
Strictly over 30s only, this is one for the slightly older indie kids. Times: 3pm-7pm
We've hosted indie events in 17 other cities too
Brought to you Old School Indie Feeling Gloomy (turned 21 last year) & Age Against The Machine our DJs will be playing a mix of indie classics from across the decades so whether you were an 70s punk, 80s new waver, 90s britpopper or early 00s poser they'll be something for everyone.
We've played indie at Glasto, Isle of Wight, Latitude, Green Man, Standon, Camp Bestival and even main stage at Knebworth (but probably not the year you are thinking of), so we know our indie onions.
The party will finish at 7pm so you can head down the pub to continue your night our or you could just go home and watch some Saturday night TV with a take away.
There is a strict door policy of no under 30s, so please bring ID as you will be asked to show it upon entry
