Written by Tony Wilson on June 21, 2024
The award-winning, genre-busting RADAR Festival has just completed this year’s lineup with the announcement of Welsh rock heavyweights Holding Absence as main support on Sunday, 28th July.
If that weren’t enough, RADAR will also host pre- and after-parties across the weekend at Rebellion – with free entry for all RADAR ticket holders. Doors open at 11.30pm.
The RADAR pre-party on Thursday 25th July features Stiff Bizkit (“The Limp Bizkit tribute your mom warned you about”), while Friday 26th July will see local band Forager perform their special “Welcome to Manchester” set. On Saturday 27th July ‘geeza-core’ troupe Pintglass will perform their “Immersive Geeza Experience” alongside OFFAL Fest DJs, and closing on Sunday 28th July, Venjent brings a banging Drum and Bass party to the city – constructing D&B tunes from anything with a beat.
