Description

The band that brought you the hits EAT MY GOAL (1996) and... EAT MY GOAL (1998) are back! Collapsed Lung, brit-hop iconoclasts and pranksters (established 1992) return to Manchester with their freewheeling, genre-hopping, social-commenting, huge beat-having hip hop fusion.

After storming the Academy 2 last year, opening for Cud and Pop Will Eat Itself, they've been gagging to do their first Manchester headline show since [checks notes] 1996! And here it is, in an early Festive Season visit to the renowned Gulliver's.

Since re-activating in 2015 they've released two DIY masterpieces - 2019s ZERO HOURS BAND, and 2023s COLLAPSED LUNG WEEKEND TELEVISION. Have they grown up? Not necessarily. But the beats and lyrics are defintely harder and angrier respectively.

Special guests are DRAGON WELDING - the duo of Andy Golding (guitarist and co-songwriter in The Wolfhounds) and Manchester transplant Nik Cockshott on vocals. Electro beats, wild guitars, sardonic lyrics and vocals. They've got you!

Tickets £16+WGT fees

Description

Located on Oldham Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Gullivers is an iconic, lively and bustling bar with a long history dating all the way back to 1865.
Gullivers has had many different guises over the years. It was originally a Wilson’s house called The Albert Hotel, then The Grenadier before J.W. Lees brewery bought the pub in the 1970s. They renamed it Gullivers and it has existed in its current form to this day.
But there’s much more to Gullivers than just the busy bar; it also houses two distinct yet complementary live music and performance spaces; the upstairs Ballroom – a 100 capacity gig venue with a raised stage and the downstairs Lounge – an intimate, 40 capacity space ideal for acoustic or low-key performances.
As well as working with established and longstanding promoters from Manchester and beyond, Gullivers prides itself on being a welcoming, supportive space and a creative hub for the city’s grassroots artistic communities; with many now successful bands, artists, performers and promoters cutting their teeth within its walls.
This rare combination of space, location and ethos allows Gullivers to boast a busy calendar of live music, spoken word, comedy, theatre, film screenings, exhibitions and much more on almost every night of the week.
