It’s already started, all day events are popping up all around the UK. So why not allow some of the old guard to get in on the action. Six classic acts including Neds Atomic Dustbin, The Wedding Present and The Chameleons play Manchester this May.
The Gigantic Classic Indie All-Dayer will be held at Manchester Academy on Bank Holiday Saturday 24th May 2014, and will run from 1.30PM to 11.30PM. On the day expect an abundance of bonuses, including quality festival food with an all-day BBQ with real vegetarian options, plus a Robinson’s Real Ale and Cider tent. But, of course, the cuisine is far from the real story here, what with the acts involved.
Topping the bill will be the inimitable Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, the group that gave us anthems such as ‘Happy’, ‘Not Sleeping Around’ and ‘Kill Your Television’. Born of distorted guitars, and a pseudo-hardcore ethic, expect a return to the crowd-surfing antics that defined the band’s shows when they finally get on stage for their headline performance. Cud,The Frank & Walters and Sultans of Ping also make up the lineup.

Quite the unique live event, anyone with even half an interest in our national musical heritage could do far worse than get down to this. After all, it’s not everyday this many bona fide icons are brought together for one hugely celebratory 10-hour party.
Tickets are available from: www.manchesteracademy.net
