About Me

Established in 2003 as a ska-punk clubnight, BOMB IBIZA has developed into Manchester's most thriving community for the ska genre.
With the support of local website mancpunkscene.co.uk a network of enthusiasts quickly developed, helping to put on some of the best-value and fun independent clubnights in the city.
The summer of 2004 saw the development of Bomb Ibiza Promotions, based around a monthly showcase for UK ska acts: The Manchester Ska Bar.
Bomb Ibiza aims primarily to bring together the various strands of the ska scene in Manchester and the UK - to work with local bands, promoters, record labels, venues, record stores and generally anyone who loves music as much as we do!
Bands we've put on in the past include: The Toasters, Adequate 7, The Slackers, Zen Baseballbat, Sonic Boom Six, Harijan, Streetlight Manifesto, The US Bombs, The Catch-it Kebabs, Howards Alias, Stza Crack, Random Hand, The Freaks Union, No Comply, APB, Grown at Home, Captain Hotknives, The Lock Up, The Filaments, Midnight Crazies and many MANY more...
Watch out for Bomb Ibiza gigs and clubnights throughout Manchester, and don't forget to visit our forum at www.makenoisemanchester.co.uk for all of the latest information about our projects! In the next few weeks our website will also be more frequently updated ---- www.manchesterskabar.co.uk
