The final night of gather@ brings four bands to St Mary’s Chambers for an early evening of post-punk, dance rhythms and heavy rock. Headliners YAANG turn drum loops, jagged guitars and a sharp sense of humour into a live show made for moving. The Manchester trio have been named in the NME 100 and picked up support from BBC Radio 6 Music.

LIINES bring urgent, driving post-punk and the intensity that has taken them across the UK and Europe, including a 32-date tour with Sleaford Mods. Martial Arts, part of Manchester’s new wave of guitar bands, are known for restless, politically charged songs and live sets that spill into the crowd.
