A Belated Summer Party w/ Pocket Sun + Juice Pops

Missing summer? Then come to Withington for the sunniest vibe in Manchester since July.

**POCKET SUN**

Hailing from a dreamy, synth-driven soundscape, Pocket Sun combines ethereal melodies and hypnotic grooves that invite listeners to drift into a surreal, synaesthetic experience. Fronted by vocalist and synth player Gina Marie Tratt, whose background in 70s-inspired animation shapes the band’s aesthetic, each release is a seamless fusion of sound and visual storytelling. Lyrically, Pocket Sun delves into themes of escapism, consciousness, and nostalgia, adding a poetic depth that resonates universally.

\+ support from Juice Pops

**Juice Pops** are a Manchester-based quartet that blend exuberant genre fusion with sharp songwriting and restless creativity. Formed in 2018, the group have quietly refined their sound to emerge as one of the city’s most entertaining bands. Their self-titled 2021 EP showcased early flashes of bright, sunshine‑pop, but over time, Juice Pops have evolved into something deeper and more textured. Their music now sits at the thrilling crossroads of psychedelia, post‑hardcore, garage rock, surf, and power pop—a mix that brims with melodic vibrancy and emotional contrast.

Presented by Elusive Jazz.

This is an 18+ event.
