That update we promised? Well… here it is. And it’s by far our biggest yet. 🎉
We’re delighted to confirm that The Early Doors Club has secured new multi-year investment, alongside continued support from Wigan Council and Bolton Council🤝
It means we can keep doing what we do best: knocking down barriers to live music, paying artists properly, investing in local venues and bringing high quality live music to highstreets🎶
What started as an idea in Wigan is now growing into a network of live music events across Greater Manchester 🌱
Over the next three years we’ll be expanding year on year, and by the end of it, The Early Doors Club will be running across five Greater Manchester boroughs 📍
First up is Rochdale. ✨
We’re excited to say The Early Doors Club is heading there for the very first time, backed by brand new support from Rochdale Development Agency! Our new home will be ST Chad's Church – a beautiful historic building that’s been part of Rochdale for centuries. We think it’s going to be a special space for live music, and we can’t wait to bring our first show there ⛪🎶
We’re not stopping in Rochdale either. Over in Bolton, we’re testing out a brand new venue too. We can’t say much more just yet, but watch this space… 👀
And now for the bit you’ve probably been waiting for… 🎤
We’re kicking things off on Friday 28th August with Vox (Mark Burgess) and Stephen Rice from The Chameleons, performing a special acoustic show at Hindley Social Club. 🎸
We’ll be announcing the rest of our first run of events over the next couple of days, so keep an eye out. 📅
Tickets for some events are now live on Humanitix, our new ticketing home. Their booking fees are lower than most platforms, and every penny of those fees goes to charity 🎟️ Plenty more will be on there in the coming days, make sure you are following us HERE - https://events.humanitix.com/host/the-early-doors-club
📍 Wigan • Bolton • Rochdale

The Early Doors Club is back❤️
