Bad Friday BBQ

Forget the heritage acts and the overpriced stadium lager. Bad Friday returns: Eight bands. One ticket. Food included. An all-dayer built on high-velocity, DIY ethics… and the smell of charcoal.

SASHES: 16.00- 16.30

JUST KIDS: 17.00 - 17.30

NAOMI IN BLUE: 18.00 – 18.30

ASBESTOS SALESMAN: 19.00 – 19.30

NATIONAL PLAYBOYS: 20.00 – 20.30

PIGEON DOG: 21.00 – 21.30

COWBOYY: 22.00 – 22.30+

YAANG: 23.00 – 23.40++

YAANG are Manchester’s premier pop-art provocateurs. They aren't "post-punk"—they’re fully carbonated, caffeinated, and non-genre compliant. Expect motorik synths, drum machines, and chaotic energy that moves from gliding 80s power ballads to airport barfights in a single heartbeat.

COWBOYY: South Coast art-pop architects. Part math-rock, part jazz, entirely confusing to those who like their music predictable.

PIGEON DOG: North London grunge. Gritty, filthy, and bursting with spiky riffs that tackle gender dysphoria and dissociation with a sneer.

NATIONAL PLAYBOYS: Edinburgh’s post-punk 5-piece. High-impact energy meeting synth-driven hooks.

ASBESTOS SALESMAN: Southend’s "post-slop" duo. Recorded in a shed, sounding like Squid meeting Blur in a trough of toxic positivity.

NAOMI IN BLUE: British-Chilean Americana. A striking blend of folk-soul and heavy-synth power, anchored by a voice that stops rooms.

JUST KIDS: An indie-pop duo where Springsteen meets Fugazi. Emotional, relatable, and dripping in second-hand smoke.

SASHES: South London’s 17-foot-tall (combined) three-piece. Scuzzy riffs, domestic rebellion, and a live presence that leaves you exhilarated and uneasy.

It’s an adventure in angular pop and beautiful noise. Eat the food. Hear the future. See you at the front.
