Alternative Hangout Riptide is launching at The Font Manchester
Alternative party Deadbolt is launching Riptide – a new weekly Tuesday night event in Manchester at The Font on September 13th.
The night will create an “Alternative Hangout” – a place to meet friends, enjoy the best in pop punk, alt, emo and metal music from the Deadbolt DJ team, play games and take advantage of special exclusive deals on drinks and food.
The Font is known for its colourful range of cocktails, priced from just £3 upwards and will be showcasing exclusive drinks just for the weekly Riptide events including a flagship cocktail, signature shots and novelty drinks.
The kitchen will be open during Riptide events until 9pm, with food deals available for students and societies who use the night for official socials. During the night, to enhance the lively atmosphere, party games such as beer pong and cornhole will be available to play.
The soundtrack to Riptide will be provided by the Deadbolt resident DJs, such as LJC, Bekkiness and Ronnie B.
Deadbolt founder and DJ Liam Connolly (aka LJC) said: “This is a great opportunity to meet some new faces within the scene and entertain them on a weekly basis. It will also be fun to play a lot of newer bands and tracks that traditionally wouldn’t be viewed as club songs. It’s always nice to try something new, and we hope this will be a chance for people moving into the city to make new friends and meet some of the regulars who always support our main Deadbolt nights at The Bread Shed!”
The event is free entry and for over 18s only – ID will be required to enter. For further information and to keep up with future announcements follow Deadbolt on social media. Make requests on the Facebook event.

Liam Connolly, founder and director of Deadbolt said: “We can’t wait to have Alyx on board for one of our most exciting times of year! She’s a fantastic DJ making waves on the scene right now. Sean Smith has been a part of Deadbolt for a few years now and certainly knows how to work up a crowd so we’re always happy to party with him.”
He added: “The freshers celebrations each year have a great atmosphere of togetherness with the events introducing the alternative students to the incredibly welcoming rock and metal scene of Manchester. We’re excited to see what the new future Mancunians will bring!”

Deadbolt is celebrating its eleventh birthday at The Bread Shed
Alternative party Deadbolt is celebrating their eleventh birthday on Saturday April 2nd in Manchester at the venue where it all began – The Bread Shed (then known as The Zoo).
Deadbolt is known in Manchester and Liverpool as a chaotic clubnight where people can enjoy a party vibe a little different from the traditional clubbing experiences. Deadbolt creates a house party atmosphere with live performances, interactive games and giveaways – and all of this is to a mix of emo, metal, rock, pop punk and alternative anthems.
Even though Deadbolt currently operates in Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Nottingham, Deadbolt has been involved with events in other cities including London, Edinburgh, Bangor, Dublin, Bristol, York, and Charlotte (North Carolina, USA). They have seen guest appearances from many acts within the alternative scene including Funeral For A Friend, Benji Webbe (Skindred), Tek-One and Hot Milk amongst many others.
The birthday party will once again feature live music from a varied selection of the very best up and coming acts the UK has to offer, followed by a huge clubnight with guest DJ sets and giveaways all night from several of the best independent brands in the alternative scene.
The event kicks off at 6:30pm, with live performances from Downcast, Where Oceans Burn, Death & Taxes, Hometruths, Aleya and A Lost Cause.
The huge clubnight will immediately follow the live show, with guest DJs and Deadbolt favourites Bury Tomorrow, the return of Sean Smith and a takeover from Skull & Bones Boys Club clothing. They will be joined by normal Deadbolt residents LJC, Bekkiness and Ronnie B.
Former Manchester rock night staple Rock Kitchen will once again be resurrected for a reunion set playing a selection of favourites from the much-loved Saturday tradition.
In true Deadbolt spirit, brands who have worked with the night will also be showcased with stalls scattered over the venue supporting the independent brands that make the alternative scene what it is. Companies such as Unusual Horror, Catch Pro Wrestling, Main Events, Good Omens Tattoo, Blasphemy Cult and Kadupuluk will have a presence on the night.
Liam Connolly, founder and director of Deadbolt said : “It’s going to be so much fun for everyone being back in the room where we started. Since then they’ve had so much investment into the production side so we’re hoping to put on a really good show for the loyal crowd as well as newcomers alike. We’re excited to welcome back Deadbolt legends Bury Tomorrow and SABBC for this birthday, as we’ve been asked to get them back so many times over the past few years.”
He added : “I wanted to really support the independent brands we’ve worked with and those from the local area, we’ve always had that mindset from day one and I feel that has always separated us from the same old, same old nights and the endless stream of hollow nostalgia nights. We’ve always wanted to give people more than the same songs, a dance floor and a bar. A night out can always be more than that. I’m confident this birthday will be an absolute blast, we certainly have the bill for it!”
Tickets for this event are available via the Red Cardinal Music website, See Tickets, Skiddle, Fatsoma, Ticketweb and Ticketline. To find out more, visit the Deadbolt’s social media pages below.
