An afternoon indie music event is scheduled at The Deaf Institute in Manchester on 19 September 2026 from 3pm to 7pm. The event, featuring various performers, costs £11.00 and follows previous sold-out editions at the same venue.
After numerous sold out events at The Deaf Institute, the U.K’s biggest indie party returns this September for another afternoon of non-stop indie
Strictly over 30s only, this is one for the slightly older indie kids. Times: 3-7pm
We’ve hosted indie events in 17 other cities too and countinf
Brought to you Old School Indie Feeling Gloomy (turning 20 this 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.
With a strict door policy of no under 30s (please bring ID) there is no chance of you rubbing shoulders with anyone who can’t sing the entire version of Babies or Going Underground.
