Hailing from four corners of the UK but residing in Manchester, 42nd Street are a four-piece indie band made up of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Bav, lead guitarist Julian, bassist Cal and drummer Oscar. Influenced by mid-2000s sweaty room and dirty dancefloor anthems, the lads are trying to revitalise that forgotten culture with a modern energetic twist.
Cardboard Shoes are an up-and-coming pop and blues rock band from the north-west who are gathering a lot of traction in the local area recently selling out Wax and Beans.
There will be a pre-show party for ticket holders only in Wax & Beans (opposite The Met on Market Street) from 6pm to 7:30pm.
Proceeds from this event will go to the charity BIG in Mental Health. You can also donate directly at Go Fund Me.
Please note that, due to circumstances beyond our control, Denova will no longer be appearing at this event.
