Britpop Curious?

12/03/2026

Hello everyone!

Just trying to organise a replacement date for Britpop Curious? in Manchester...

Before we make a final decision, would you prefer to keep things as a late night club event (11pm start - 3am finish), or would you rather a daytime event (5/6pm start - 10pm finish)?

If you could chip in below in the comments, that'd be ever so helpful!

Hi everyone!

Sadly, next Saturday's event at Yes has been cancelled :-(

Apologies to those who were looking forward to it, but not enough people bought advance tickets to justify running it.

All ticket holders will receive a full refund within the next seven days - thank you so much for your support!

Don't worry though, we'll be back at some point in some form at a different venue later in the year.

In the meantime, please feel free to enjoy a Spotify playlist we made from an event held ten years ago back in March 2016...

It was great fun, and a huge thanks to everyone who came out!

A good 60% of the above list were requests too, so if you think you can do better, come along to the next one!

Speaking of which, our next event is on Saturday 14th March back at YES Basement.

Event page: Britpop Curious? // Yes Basement, Manchester

We know that it's Mother's Day weekend, but that is our only window before June, so we thought we'd rather have one in March than have to wait until then!

If you can make it, please buy an advance ticket. We've even lowered the advance price to £5 + booking, with a £15 + booking "4 for 3" group entry, so it's as cheap as we can make it!

Obviously you can still pay on the door on the night, but buying advance tickets really helps us plan how many Britpop face masks and lyric posters to print off, so if you can grab an advance ticket, please do.

Hope to see you on the dancefloor in March!

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to Britpop Curious? last weekend at YES Basement!

It really felt like being back in the glory days with lots of people dancing, great song requests and a very reasonably priced bar! What more could we ask for?
