An Afternoon Of Indie – Indie For The Over 30s

If you are coming to our January party (well done, it sold out weeks ago), then you may fancy a warm up with us this New Year’s Day, 1st Jan, as we bring 2026 indie joy to Gorilla, Manchester. 3 to 7pm for all indie floor-fillers you love. If you have a mate who missed out on tickets, this could be their (and your) chance, to catch some of our indie mischief, as we welcome in the New Year, at a slightly civilised time.

**JAN 24TH NOW SOLD OUT**

After a sold out launch party at The Deaf Institute in September, the U.K’s biggest indie party returns to Manchester again for an afternoon of non-stop indie bangers in January

Strictly over 30s only, this is one for the slightly older indie kids. Times: 3pm-7pm

Selling out also in: London, Brighton, Nottingham, Coventry, Bristol, Cardiff, Sheffield, Newcastle, Leeds and more

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.
