The Weekenders - An Evening of Indie Bangers

The Weekenders bring a night of indie disco hits to Alexander's Live in Chester. The five-piece band performs songs by other artists rather than material of their own.

The Weekenders are a five-piece band whose set is built from indie disco hits by other artists. Their line-up combines keyboard, synth and guitars, giving the familiar tracks a layered sound on stage. The repertoire spans a wide range of guitar-led bands, with songs by Kasabian, Oasis, Sam Fender, Electric Six, The Zutons and The Jam named among the artists the band plays, along with others in between.

The evening is aimed at anyone who wants to hear recognisable indie dancefloor favourites performed live, with the band pitching the night as a soundtrack to the weekend. The show is built around crowd-pleasing choices rather than original songwriting, so the appeal lies in the familiar choices from the indie canon.

Alexander's Live is a concert and performance venue in Chester, and this indie night is staged there. The Weekenders present the programme as an indie party, drawing together songs from several decades of guitar music in one evening.
