Meltchester returns with psych and garage rock in May

Meltchester Vol #4 comes to Projekts Skatepark in Manchester on Saturday 17th May 2025, bringing psych, garage rock, punk, indie, and post-rock bands to the city. 

Brought to us by Sour Grapes Records, Meltchester is back for round four. So far, London-based post-punk band Snapped Ankles, post-rock band KEG, psych-rock two-piece Earth Tongue, and Canadian noise-rock band Gloin have been announced for this year’s bash. More names are still to be announced. 

The grassroots festival, just a five-minute walk from Piccadilly Train Station, offers a day packed with tunes for a bargain. And all ages are welcome! 

Finally, tickets are covered by Skiddle’s Cool:Off, so if you buy tickets and change your mind within three days, you can get a refund.
