ABOUT THIS EVENT
90s grunge revivalists bring the flannel and fuzz to Barnsley — don't miss this blast from the past!
Remember when the world was grunge? When the only thing that mattered was how many flannels you could layer and whether your Doc Martens were suitably scruffy? Well, the kids at The Year Grunge Broke are here to transport you back to that glorious era of angst and aggression. This tribute act captures the spirit of the 90s in all its grungy glory, from the distorted guitars to the raw, emotive vocals. Expect to hear all the classics — 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', 'Interstate Love Song', 'Black Hole Sun' — played with a passion that'll have you feeling like you just walked out of Singles. The Birdwell Venue in Barnsley provides the perfect grimy backdrop, all exposed brickwork and industrial vibes. It's a short hop from Barnsley station, and with tickets just £16.50, this is a must for any self-respecting 90s kid.
