NQ TAKEOVER
21 ARTISTS, 7 VENUES, 1 NIGHT… MANCHESTER'S ‘NQ TAKEOVER’!
MANCHESTER NQ TAKEOVER!! Join us in January to light up Manchester’s Northern Quarter for one big party! ☀️
Our NQ Takeover includes various gigs and bands across the best venues in the district including Night & Day Café, The Castle, Gullivers, Off The Square, Aatma, The Peer Hat and Lost Cat! You can purchase individual show tickets or an ‘Access All Shows’ option and try to tackle all bands within a 7 minute walking circuit!
The NQ Takeover was pioneered in January 2024 as a way of exploring the best new bands and creating a community in the city for one night.
Last year, the Northern Quarter Takeover was a huge success with 700 tickets sold out across all 6 venues right in the heart of Manchester's cultural hub.
Not only did Scruff of the Neck put on 6 shows in one night, we invited our artist community to our office for an afterparty late into the early hours...
