About This Event

Celebrate a whole decade of Ordinary Friends at PROGRESS on Saturday 30 May 2026, with this free birthday bash kicking off at 3pm. This is your chance to be part of something special in Manchester's clubbing calendar – a landmark anniversary that's brought together a loyal community over ten years, and they're throwing open the doors for anyone aged 18+ to join the party.

PROGRESS itself has become a proper institution on Manchester's nightlife scene, known for hosting quality events and keeping things real when it comes to electronic music and underground culture. The venue's got the kind of vibe that makes it perfect for celebrations like this – intimate enough to feel personal, but with the production values and sound system that'll do justice to a proper anniversary shindig.

Get yourself down to PROGRESS in plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere from 3pm onwards, and come ready for what promises to be a packed room of genuine music lovers. Free entry means there's no excuse not to show your support, and you'll want to arrive early to grab a good spot and catch the full experience of what Ordinary Friends has built over the last ten years.
