Over-18s tribute night to The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, James, Oasis, Inspiral Carpets and Joy Division, recreating the Madchester and Britpop era.
The Madchester Experience comes to The Piper on Saturday 12 December, a tribute night that pulls together the bands of Manchester's rave-soaked heyday and the Britpop scene. The set pays homage to The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, James, Oasis, Inspiral Carpets and Joy Division, drawing on the energy of the Haçienda era when Madchester first took off — the anthems, the big hooks, and the fashion of the time, flares and bucket hats included.
The night is presented by The Piper as part of The Absolute Stone Roses' act, who bill themselves as the UK's best Stone Roses tribute. Beyond the main list, they also recreate the sounds of Blur, The Verve, The Farm, EMP and The Charlatans, so it reaches further than just the Manchester names and takes things back to the 90s indie era as a whole.
It's a long list to cover in one night, and the set spans from the dance-inflected rave sound of the late 80s through to the Britpop that followed. If you're into that whole stretch of guitar music, it's a fair bit of ground to cover in a single evening. Entry is restricted to over-18s, so keep that in mind if you're bringing a younger crowd along.
