In honour of the great unsung hero of the early Manchester punk scene, Steve ‘ShyTalk’ Burke; and as showcased on Craig Charles’ daytime show on BBC Radio 6 Music in June 2024 (thanks, Craig!), SHY FEST is now presented across TWO of Manchester’s finest grassroots venues! We’re also dedicating this years’ event to our wonderful resident DJ Ste Doyle, and Paul ‘WAGS’ Wagstaff – both of whom passed away recently, having contrubuted so much to the events and will each be missed immensely.
PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE: The Peer Hat on Faraday Street, and neighbouring venue Aaatma (just down the back alley and up the stairs) will be the places to find all the bands, poetry, spoken word, comedy and anything else.
Playing into the small hours for a proper Dirty Jam session, and if there’s any time left, this will be followed by a ShyFest Disco (DJs TBA) in honour of our great resident DJ, Steve ‘SonicDiary’ Doyle, who passed away at Christmas.

I’m also very excited to confirm Expression Manchester are joining us again to lead a dirty jam grand finale after their surprise appearance last year! Venue change means we are able to continue this magical end of night anarchy right into the small hours!
XXX HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED XXX

Kicking the night off will be Jude Sides with some chilling poetry reminiscent of John Cooper Clarke.
This will be followed by a consistently wild performance from Open Fly, an incredible up and coming punk band, as well as another act yet to be announced.
Leeroy Salmon will be headlining the night showcasing their uncompromising sound alongside their debut single “KIM CHI”
