Bike fans will unite at Europe’s biggest indoor motorcycle festival which is heading to Manchester at the weekend.

UK Bike Fest is a new concept boasting big star guests, live music, trader stalls, Q&A panels and food and drink all under one roof at Bowlers Exhibition Centre on Trafford Park.

The event will include an appearance from Sons of Anarchy TV stars Kim Coates (who played Alex “Tig” Trager) and Tommy Flanagan (who played Filip “Chibs” Telford), with the option to book VIP meet and greets too on Saturday May 25th.

UK Bike Fest is the brainchild of Andy Kleek and his team at Monopoly Events, and runs across the bank holiday weekend, from May 24th to 27th.

Attractions will include performances from the Circus of Horrors, death-defying bike stunt shows, a live tattooist and bike park for bikers to show off their pride and joy with thousands of others at the event.

Look out for the custom bike competitions, and there will also be a go-slo bike race where the aim is to go slow as humanly possible without putting your feet on the floor in a bid to be LAST across the finishing line!

There will also be live rock music across the weekend from some of the UK’s top tribute bands, including Born Jovi, Guns 2 Roses, Motley Crude and Motorheadache.

Food stalls will include an entire food court courtesy of Manchester’s Porky Pig, famed for his Yorkshire pudding wraps.

Tickets are priced from £27.50, with add on options for VIP parking, indoor camping, and VIP meet and greet access.
