Poptastic at Bar Pop for NYE

Poptastic at Bar Pop for NYE

Looking back over its 16 year reign as the UK's most popular gay clubbing event, it's hard to believe that Poptastic came into being as a one-off event in the basement of Blooms Hotel in Manchester.

Promoter and 'Mr Poptastic' Jon Hamilton wanted to offer an alternative to Manchester's house-obsessed, muscled-up Gay Village and hit on the unthinkable – a club night where Indie Kids and Pop Queens came together to dance, drink and get leathered while dancing their favourite tunes.

3 floors of Indie silent disco,dance and R and B and Trash pop are planned on the night.
