manchFESTer set times...

From the top:

ANDREW CREAM was meant to play manchFESTer 1.5 but got super super ill the day before and couldn't make it. Providing his immune system is better, he'll be playing at 1.15pm, so get down early!

SPEAK OUT are up next. It's their FIRST SHOW EVER so put your pints down, get yourselves X'd up and get stomping for some banging youth crew righteous jams, they'll be on at 2pm sharp!.

Then THROWING STUFF try and emulate the ridiculous set we played at manchFESTer 1.5 which included dropkicks, blood, glass and Ben almost breaking my guitar and shoulder. Come watch us at 2:20pm.


After the glass is cleaned up, my favourite dude Jordy will be playing as A Great Notion to keep things going with his acoustic jams to drink and sing to. Catch them at 2:55pm.


Then SUNDAY LEAGUE return to Manchester from Byker Grove with their "Extra dramatic jamz™", after watching them at Boozy Du 2 I immediately knew I wanted them for manchFESTer. Come see why at 3:40pm.


Finally!!! I've tried to put WELL WISHER on loads of times but there's always been something ruining it, mainly blaming Sean for living in London. Either way, one of the best bands to watch live hands down and they're playing at 4:25pm.


Last band before the break is the almighty ONSIND! Consistently releasing some of the best acoustic music, dual vocals work brilliantly and it's impossible not to sing a long a smile when they play at 5:10pm.


***THERE'S A ONE HOUR BREAK AT manchFESTer 2 FOR PEOPLE TO GET SOME FOOD AND GENERALLY CHILL FOR A BIT. BUUUUT, WE'VE ARRANGED TO KEEP THE PARTY GOING WITH AN ACOUSTIC IN-STORE AT V REVOLUTION FEATURING THE AMAZING PJ BOND AND BAD IDEAS***


GREAT CYNICS kick off the party again at 6:45pm. I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've had the pleasure of putting them on since the name change and full band arrangement, which is absolutely crazy thinking about it when I see them so often around here.

After GC we've got another Manchester favourite, it's only SAM RUSSO isn't it! No words needed, he's playing at 7:30pm.


VANILLA POD kick it old school, first date of a UK tour that's well overdue. Get ready to be surrounded by idiots at 8:15pm.


Long-awaited return of CALVINBALL comes at 9:00pm. Headlined manchFESTer 1.5 and haven't played much since then, might even have some new songs ready!

Our favourite Londoner's APOLOGIES, I HAVE NONE come back to Manchester on their album release tour. Their debut album "London" gets released on the 21st March but I'm sure they'll be some streams popping up for y'all to learn some words by manchFESTer. They're playing at 9:45pm.


Headliners ABOVE THEM on at 10:30pm, if they're still standing and not in the casino by then.
