Create Your Own Neighbourhood Festival Manchester Music Quiz Pack (Hitster-Style) with Hitify
Neighbourhood Festival takes over Manchester on 17 October 2026. Build your own Hitster-style pack of Manchester indie classics with Hitify.
Neighbourhood Festival 2026: Manchester after dark
On Saturday 17 October 2026, Neighbourhood Festival turns the centre of Manchester into one big indie gig. Around a dozen venues, including the O2 Ritz, Gorilla and Manchester Academy, host more than 30 new acts, with Keo and Red Rum Club at the top of the bill. One ticket, one wristband, and you hop from room to room all day and night.
It is a city that has given the world more guitar music than almost anywhere. That is why Neighbourhood works so well as the base for a music quiz.
What is a Hitster-style game?
Hitster is the party game where every card hides a song behind a QR code. You scan it, listen, and place the card on your timeline by release year. Get the order right and the card is yours. The first player with ten cards wins.
Why Neighbourhood makes a great Music Quiz pack
Manchester packs forty years of pop history into one city. Post-punk, acid house, Madchester, Britpop and today's guitar bands all sit on one timeline. Was Blue Monday from 1983 or 1985? Which came first, Fools Gold or Step On? Nobody at the table agrees, which is exactly what makes the game fun.
10 songs for your Neighbourhood Music Quiz pack
The festival has no official playlist, so these are our picks: landmark songs from the city's bands, plus names that carry on the tradition. The years are the original release of each recording:
Do not stop at ten. Hitify shows the real release year of each track, so reissues, remasters and anniversary editions do not trick you.
How to build the pack with Hitify
With Hitify you turn a list like this into a real Hitster-style pack in minutes. Paste a Spotify playlist or search songs one by one, and Hitify checks the original release year of each track. That matters for Manchester classics, which have been remastered and re-released many times.
When your list is ready, download the cards as a printable PDF with QR codes, or order a printed deck delivered to your door. Scan the codes with your phone and play.
