If you didn't get tickets for the opening night at Heaton Park, don't worry! You can have your own OASIF experience at Billingtons, Oldham, where there won't be an eight mile queue for the loos and you'll be able to get a beer in no time! Tickets are available here.
In the late 1980's bands like Happy Mondays and Primal Scream worked with producers like Paul Oakenfold and the late, great Andrew Weatherall to create an innovative blend of guitars and house beats, which helped define the "baggy" and "Madchester" era. Spiked Island are a Madchester style tribute act. Your flares and Reni hats are a must.

Spiked Island & Oasif are Matt Berry (guitar) and Matt Dean (vocals)​. Both have been involved in music for over 25 years in bands, songwriting and in Matt B’s case, teaching and composing.
​
In August 2022, they played their first live show as Spiked Island. Since then they have become known for their professionalism, reliability and ability to deliver a great show every time.
​
The lads cover legendary bands such as The Stone Roses, Oasis, James, Blur, Primal Scream, Pulp, The Happy Mondays and many more, in sets that takes you on a hedonistic high through arguably the last great era defining scenes of British guitar music.
