Back to Britpop is a Manchester-based Britpop covers band celebrating the golden era of British guitar music. With a deep-rooted love for the swagger, style, and sound of the 1990s, we bring the anthems of a generation back to life — from the gritty streets of Manchester to the stages of today. Formed by a group of seasoned musicians with years of live performance under our belts, we channel the raw energy and unmistakable attitude of Britpop's finest. Our setlist pays homage to the genre’s iconic acts — from the raucous rock 'n' roll of Oasis, to the artful brilliance of Blur, the sharp wit of Pulp, and beyond. Whether you're reliving your youth or discovering the era for the first time, we deliver the soundtrack to a time when British music ruled the airwaves. Back to Britpop isn’t just a tribute — it’s a full-blown celebration of a movement that defined a decade. So dust off your Fred Perry, lace up your Adidas, and get ready to sing along to the songs that still mean everything.
