Question 1

Is there parking near the venue?

Accepted Answer

Parking is limited at Gullivers (no on‑site car park). Use nearby city‑centre car parks or paid street bays and check local signs. Public transport to the Northern Quarter is usually the easiest option.

Question 2

Can dads really go free?

Accepted Answer

Yes with every valid ticket you purchase you can bring one dad. Simply email us your dad's name, along with a screenshot of your ticket confirmation and we will add him to the guest list. Email alex@same.band

Question 3

What kind of night is this?

Accepted Answer

This is a high-energy indie rock show fronted by two brothers, with a big focus on fun, connection and getting everyone on the same wavelength. Think singalongs, dad dancing and a “join the family” vibe.

Question 4

Is this gig right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you like indie rock, live guitars, a bit of chaos, and friendly crowds where you can come alone or with mates and feel welcome, this is absolutely for you. If you just want to stand in the corner and scroll your phone, maybe not.

Question 5

Are they really brothers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, so expect plenty of sibling banter, on-stage chemistry and the feeling you’re hanging out with family, not just watching a band.

Question 6

Do I need to know the band already to enjoy it?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. You will be made to feel very welcome. You don’t need to know the words; you just need to show up and get involved. But, we would love to hear you sing back our words!

Question 7

Is dad dancing actually encouraged?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The more questionable the moves, the better. This isn’t a cool-kid-only show – it’s about loosening up, laughing and enjoying yourself.

Question 8

What time does the night start and finish?

Accepted Answer

Doors typically open at 7pm, with music starting from around 7:30pm and ending by approximately 10:00pm. Check the “Schedule” section on this page for exact timings so you can plan travel and childcare.

Question 9

Is there an age limit?

Accepted Answer

Please check the venue’s age policy, but most shows are 18+. If in doubt, contact the venue directly before buying tickets.

Question 10

What’s the vibe of the crowd?

Accepted Answer

Welcoming, mixed ages, and zero judgment. People come to dance, sing, laugh and feel part of something – from indie kids to parents escaping for the night.

Question 11

What’s included in the £25 Limited Edition Bundle Ticket?

Accepted Answer

This special ticket includes entry to the show plus an exclusive mystery bundle created by the band. We don’t want to spoil the surprise just yet, but you can expect things like signed goodies, fun keepsakes, and items to help you join in the energy of the night.

Question 12

How accessible is the venue?

Accepted Answer

Accessibility varies by venue, but we aim to work only with places that can welcome as many people as possible. For step-free access, disabled facilities or carer tickets, please see the venue’s website or contact them directly. We will try our best to help where we can!

Question 13

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Tickets are generally non-refundable, except in the unlikely event that the show is cancelled or significantly rescheduled. If that happens, we’ll contact all ticket holders with options.

Question 14

What happens if the event is cancelled or rescheduled?

Accepted Answer

If we cancel, you’ll be offered a full refund of the ticket price. If we reschedule, your ticket will remain valid for the new date; if you can’t make it, we’ll outline your options by email.

Question 15

Will there be merch?

Accepted Answer

Yes – we’ll have merch like shirts, CDs and other goodies on the night, so bring a bit of extra cash or a card if you’d like to take something home.

Question 16

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

No dress code, just be comfortable. Band tees, glitter, comfy trainers or your favourite dad shirt – it all works. Just come comfy and ready to move.

Question 17

Can I come alone?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. Lots of people come solo and end up leaving with new mates. The whole point is to create a night where everyone feels part of the same family.

Question 18

Will there be support acts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, nights will include at least one support act to set the tone and get you warmed up. Most likely a local band or artist. Check the event description or our social media for the latest line-up details.

Question 19

Can I take photos or videos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, snap away on your phone – just be mindful of people around you and enjoy the moment too. If you share anything online, tag us so we can see and share it.

Question 20

How can I keep up with future gigs?

Accepted Answer

Follow us on Instagram / TikTok / etc. and join our mailing list so you don’t miss new dates, releases and special shows.

Question 21

Is there seating available?

Accepted Answer

Most of the venues are standing to keep the energy high, but some seating may be available around the edges. If you have specific access needs, please contact the venue in advance and we’ll do our best to help.
