About this gig

The latest edition of the Fifth Floor live series is a collaboration with local promoters Akoustik Anarkhy (who’ll be DJing throughout the day), and will be headlined by buzzy Manchester upstarts Pyncher, who are fresh from a sold-out UK tour and the release of their debut EP, ‘Every Town Needs A Stranger’. Elsewhere across the day, there’ll be performances from the likes of Holly Head, Deaf Deaf Deaf, Getner, and Hauspoints, as well as a special DJ set by none other than Tim Burgess.
