Plus many, many more…

Now then, nothing in music truly ever dies – genres and styles take their twists & turns on the musical merry-go-round, evolve into something new and have a massive resurgence. BRITPOP has already been through the evolution part of the mill, with the number of bands born out of the ashes of BRITPOP. Now it’s time for the resurgence, which has been bubbling underneath the floorboards since the turn of the year.

With Liam in full pomp, Pulp reforming for a series of summer shows and Blur penning a new album, This Feeling is delighted to announce A BRITPOP SPECIAL @ Vibe Bar – complete with a couple of our very own reformations.

So, without further ado, we have a *top secret massive headline act* locked in to play a full live set, which will be announced in due course. Northern Uproar – specially reformed for This Feeling’s BRITPOP SPECIAL – will be living it up for one night only to play a live set, which is set to be truly magical. The Bluetones make a slight return before their farewell tour in September with frontman Mark Morriss performing a blissful set on the acoustic and Echobelly now known as Calm Of Zero will kick the night off, set the temperature and get those BRITPOP juices circulating again. Zak Starkey’s new band PENGU!NS soon to support Kasabian on tour play “live” and as ex Oasis and Lightning Seeds drummer should know a thing or two about Britpop. Noel Gallagher’s first signings to his record label, Proud Mary, complete the “live” zone.

TOP SECRET HEADLINE ACT – LIVE
NORTHERN UPROAR – LIVE & REFORMED
MARK MORRISS ( THE BLUETONES) – ACOUSTIC
CALM OF ZERO (EX ECHOBELLY) – LIVE
PENGU!NS – LIVE
PROUD MARY – LIVE

Following this monumental resurgence of BRITPOP hysteria, Shaun Ryder will drive the party into the small hours and beyond (as only he knows best) with a DJ Set, which will take the Vibe Bar on a journey that has been 15 years in the making.

With 4 rooms at the Vibe Bar celebrating one massive BRITZONE, Shed 7 frontman Rick Witter will take to the decks and wipe the dust off his BRITPOP vinyl collection along with Damian Jonze from the NME and Cool Britannia.

SHAUN RYDER – DJ SET
SHED SEVEN (RICK WITTER) – DJ SET
DAMIAN JONZE (NME) – DJ SET
