For the second consecutive year, Manchester promoters Now Wave and Strange Days collaborate to bring the best in psych and garage to the city in a day long weird happening of live music. Last year saw psych gods King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard headline a near sold-out Manchester Ritz, along with The Wytches, The Big Moon and many more.

Coming from New York, post-punk garage quartet Parquet Courts are to fill the headline slot this year. They'll be bringing their art punk riffs and fuzzy drones to complete a day of what promises to be a noisy and chaotic affair. This performance comes after the release of their fifth studio album Human Performance, which received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Recording Package.
