About Local Scene

Tracking the latest hardcore / punk / metal / adjacent gigs in Manchester and across the North-West.

All the promotors, in one place.

WHY

I'm a big fan of live music. I'm not a fan of social media.

I was sick of missing local shows because I wasn't glued to my phone, or because the Instagram algorithm didn't show me a promotor's poster.

So I built myself this site that puts all the shows in one place, and sends email updates.

No feeds - no influencers - just gigs.

I figured if I needed this, maybe others in the hardcore community do too.

So here it is.

A DIY gig calendar.

For anti-social media music lovers.
