LIVE: Manchester Punk Festival 2023 – Saturday

Live: Hundred Reasons / Hell Is For Heroes / My Vitriol @ Eventim Apollo, London

Tonight’s line-up at the Hammersmith Apollo is testament to the power of a dedicated fan base. The three bands playing this evening emerged onto the scene at the turn of the millennium, and it’s clear from the already busy floor that the vast majority of the audience have stuck
