Intermission Festival
This April the 22nd will be a day to remember with a whole load of our favourite student and student alumni bands playing at two Northern Quarter locations, 33 Oldham Street and Aatma. This fantastic day will feature the Strangerz, who have just released the amazing new single Hit The Ground, Monday Moon Child, King Violet, CatbandCat , Brand New Legs and so many more!
