An Afternoon of indie - Indie for the over 30s

After two sold out indie parties in 2025, the UK's biggest indie party in 17 cities, is returning to The Nightingale WOODS for another Afternoon of Indie. Old School Indie - The indie night for the over 30s are once again joining forces with Feeling Gloomy & Age Against The Machine to bring you a special 3pm-7pm Afternoon of Indie. Once again, we intend this event to be on the outdoor stage. However, as anyone who came to our June event last year will know, with the British weather, we have a contingency to bring it indoors. It might be that certain portions are inside or out, our aim is to keep you dry but have the best shindig we can, and the outside wood space is an awesome place to have a party! NEW for 2026 - the DJ music will be pumped throughout the terraced areas in the blurb, and new and improved covered areas, outside bars and toilet facilities. Feeling Gloomy & Old School Indie DJs will be playing a mix of indie classics from across the decades so whether you were an 70s punk, 80s new waver, 90s britpopper or early 00s poser they'll be something for everyone. And because the party will finish at 7pm, you'll have time to run off for a nice evening stroll, head home for a night in front of the TV, or you can just hang around at The Nightingale and have a few more drinks. The Strines Nightingale has excellent transport links from Manchester, Stockport, Sheffield and London.
