Scruff of the Neck's NQ Takeover

21 ARTISTS, 6 VENUES, 1 NIGHT… JOIN US FOR THE MANCHESTER ‘NQ TAKEOVER’!

On Friday 23rd May2025, we are showcasing 15 brand new bands across 4 venues in one night in the city’s cultural hub, the Northern Quarter. Although all shows are independent of one another (with their own headliners and support artists), the event has been planned to logistically allow a ‘gig-hopping’ approach whereby it is possible to watch part of all 15 performances!

A limited amount of 'All Access' festival style tickets will be available to purchase, allowing you to build your own gig and catch as many performances as you possibly can!

Artists A-Z

BETS, BÖHMEN, Canopy, Dog Complex, Girl Like That, Grace Kelly, Harry Mold, Lia Rye, Marianne Leigh, Minimum Wage, Northway, O'Phantom, Plastic Heart, Plastic Heart, PoolEra

Please note entry to venues is subject to capacity, and priority will be given to ticket holders for specific events. All shows are strictly 18+.
