House of Balloons

Do Not Disturb presents

House of Balloons

A night filled with The Weeknds OG catalogue, spanning from the Trilogy mixtapes into the depths of Kissland and the best of BBTM.

It does not go unoticed that The Weeknds music has changed drastically over the past decade. Many of us fans continue to miss the old, darker sounding ambience that The Weeknds music used to create, this event is here to allow us to reminisce on that section of his growing catalogue.

We will be playing only the best music from the Trilogy mixtapes, Kissland and a select few from from Beauty Behind the Madness.

If you are a true fan of The Weeknd, this is not an event to be missed!

Gibbo, Stereotyped, Mango, Sunday and the Comedian

Live music with four local bands.

£5 on the door.

Intermission Festival

Disrupting your usual festival circuit we bring you breakout festival: INTERMISSION.

We find our home in the Northen Quarter in Manchester with two of the best grassroots venues.

Breaking the black & white mold and hosting a rainbow of genres, across the road is 33 Oldham Street. Our most eclectic stage, audiences can find delight from watching pioneers of synth-pop, indie, folk and more. Curated with one thought in mind, to display the best of contemporary music.

Finally we have AATMA, and fitting with the name, the musicians you will find here are queens- rather noisy and loud ones. This stage highlights the artists who do not shy away from harsh melodies and heavy guitars, bringing with them vivacious performances with a punky edge.
