We will be distributing some very, very limited edition physical tickets to those in attendance. Tickets are available for £9 from the link above. DO NOT SLEEP.
Lock into the insta @eventsnextup for all the latest updates & the best new underground music.
CLBRKS:
A 616 cult member and all round geezer. Distinctly original, CL has put out more work since 2020 than most rappers have in their existence. Microwave Cooking with Morriarchi received particular plaudits and deservedly so. There have been claims he is on a performance enhancing diet however CL claims it is all in the nose holding. A recent feature on Fin's EP alongside 'Kish!' as well as regular collabs with Blah associates have kept CL in the fray and ready to shell this September. There's an endless selection of heaters on his and the Loudhouse youtube, if you're not onto Loudhouse make sure you check that too, copious free game.

Sleazy F Baby:
0161 legend and another 616 affiliate. Sleaz has been doing this since way back when, back to back's with Black Josh were commonplace in Manchester nightclubs. A CONSTANT collaborator with the local and national scene, regularly bringing through and pushing new talent, Sleazy has helped push the careers of local Manchester artists, Lobé, Culps & Kdon amongst genuinely countless others. His own music speaks for itself, from Super Sag Bros to Dripset. Our personal favourite tape is Second Half, which is hard to find these days, but you'll thank us if you go digging. Grime, Rap, Trap, Sleaz does it all. This one with 808INK is a MAZZA.

BaileyWillsXO
Bailey first played at one of our shows in 2019, supporting Slowthai and JD. Reid, if you were there you know how much him and RAF shelled it. XO released his awaited tape Dead Boy Gang, VOL 1 earlier this year. If you're into CL and Sleaz I have no doubt Bailey is up your street too. Hunt out his gems on soundcloud, some of his earlier stuff is top tier.
