The Aftershow is getting bigger and better and from now on will be taking place twice a month at MoHo Live in Manchester’s trendy Northern Quarter.

In its first massively successful year The Aftershow has seen Manchester’s most notorious dance club, Sankeys, transformed into an indie festival, with headbanging, crowd surfing and some of the best new music around, and now MOHO LIVE a brand new club turned into THE place to go in Manchester if you want to see great live music.   Starting out as a Thursday night event at clubbers favourite venue Sankeys, Danny McNamara  (from Embrace) started the night with the intention of giving a helping hand to rising talent from his adopted city.  Six months after moving to a new night (Fridays) and a new venue (Moho Live) it's obvious that the night is still all about showcasing new talent in a great location.

It’s played host to well over 200 bands in front of over 11,000 people in just 24 nights. Big names like Badly Drawn Boy, The Magic Numbers, The Sunshine Underground, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobious Pip, The Utah Saints, The Delays, I am Kloot and The Ting Tings and many more have played alongside some of the best new bands from all over the country, and even abroad - Thomas Tantrum, Twisted Wheel and Cage The Elephant to name but a few. Many of Manchester’s finest Djs have gone along for the ride too.

Opening times are – 8pm ‘till 3am - and their aim is to bring you the best new music before anyone else.
