About us
We host events such as meeting at rock bars, gigs, and rock club nights. The group is a platform for people to suggest events and meet likeminded people around rock and metal music.
I want this to be a location to facilitate event ideas from the members. I welcome you to suggest ideas for events you would like to attend that fit the remit of the group. If anybody would be interested in organising events through the group, I welcome you to send me a message that asks about becoming an event organiser.
I look forward to seeing you at events in the future.

Festwich Festival 2026 @ Heaton Park, Prestwich - Manchester
Heaton Park, Middleton Road, Manchester, GBWell on its way to becoming a group tradition by now but yes its time for Festwich again! (we've been every time since 2022 XD). The format will be familiar to many of you by now - lots of great bands, big rides, bars and (hopefully) sunny weather.
Tickets found here...
https://www.ticketline.co.uk/festwich#bioBelter line up this year, to include...
- Guns or Roses (Guns N'Roses)
- Megadeath UK (Megadeath)
- Orevanescence (Evanescence)
- Ion Maiden (Iron Maiden)
- Metal Militia (Metallica)
- Transmission (Joy Division)
And lots more! (see the attached image for the full lineup). Although the event is over Saturday and Sunday, I'm only there for the Saturday since the bands tend to be more metal orientated. I've set the start time as 1100hrs but that's more for the listing itself really - its totally up to whoever goes when they arrive, depart & what bands they listen to.
If you are coming by train from Liverpool you'll need to get off at Deansgate station. On the other side of the connecting walkway is Deansgate/Castlefield tram station. Then you take a tram on the Bury line to Heaton Park (there's a ticket machine on the platform so it's very easy). Heaton Park tram station is just over the road from the entrance, so once you get off you cant miss it.
