Benefit indie and indie-pop gig at The Continental for vlogger Ana Maria Nazario, with The Room, Autocamper, Tigers and Flies, The Amber List, Ginnel and The Opening Song.
The Continental hosts Super Excited Much! on Sunday 8 November, a benefit gig for Ana Maria Nazario. The bill is presented by Tuff Life Boogie and put together by Rico La Rocca, with the line-up built around acts Ana Maria likes, played as a tribute to her and to raise funds for her bucket list. She's a vlogger and Stockport resident described as an uber-fan and unparalleled supporter of the North West indie and indie-pop scene, who has made the trip from Stockport to Preston countless times for gigs at The Continental. She's been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
The Room headline, fronted by Dave Jackson. They've revived their 1979-1985 incarnation, which was championed by John Peel, after reuniting in late 2021. Since then they've put out three comeback albums, the most recent being Doom Pop, released in September 2026. Joining them are Autocamper, Tigers and Flies, The Amber List/Echoes of the Bunnymen, Ginnel — a post-punk primitive noise outfit fronted by Dandelion Adventure's Marcus Parnell, who released their debut LP Swab, Scalpel, Sponge in 2023 — and The Opening Song, which includes Mark Whiteside.
