LIMINAL BEGINNING is the debut UK tour from Chaidura, celebrating the release of the new EP LIMINAL.
Known for a sound that blends the theatricality of Japanese Visual Kei with the raw energy of Emo and Alternative Metal, Chaidura creates a “cinematic chaos” on stage that explores the beauty of the in-between. Featuring the hit single “HEAVEN,” this show is an intense, emotional journey through heavy riffs, tribal choirs, and vulnerable storytelling.

White Onyx is a sanctuary of sonic expression! An open door to the outcasts and those who haven’t yet found their voice. Our music is a carefully crafted blend of in-your-face punk attitude mixed with the emotional vulnerability and anthemic catharsis of early emo.
On 24th October, The Maple State will be celebrating the release of their new album ‘Don’t take forever’ with a small hometown show at Aatma on Faraday Street.
The band will be playing music from their early years, alongside songs from the new record.
While ‘Don’t take forever’ won’t be released until the 7th of November, advanced vinyl copies will be available for purchase at the show.
Joining them will be The Latchkey Kids.
11th of October 2025 at the AATMA in Manchester!
Featuring the lovely, very beautiful, very queer @be_nice_band with main support from local sweeties @skeletonsinthecloset_band and Stoke-on-Trent based occultist industrial rock weirdos @lepetitmort.band
Opener to be confirmed
£2.30 ADV on The Soft’s bigcartel shop or £5.00 OTD
Doors at 7PM! Make sure to click which band you’re coming to see and if you want to give extra to the acts we will be setting up tupperware boxes with their names on them and someone handling that. This way musicians we’re working with get paid far more fairly than they ever usually are – remember: its cheap entry, but if you can afford please do! These folks deserve it!
