The Uncapital Route:
An electrifying adventure in Manchester.

Join Kia and Vice on the Uncapital Route: the electrifying journey that explores Europe’s creative hubs beyond the capitals. The UK’s headliner, the cultural underdog, Manchester.

Jake “Snake” Denton, our host, will learn why this city has one of the biggest musical heritages in the UK and what it sounds like nowadays.

Snake drives through Manchester in the EV9 GT-line to meet Pops Roberts, vocalist and producer of “Lovescene”. He finds Pops grooving in the park and playing basketball, and learns that musicians choose Manchester to have the breathing space to take in from every musical influence from across the world.

After teaching Snake some moves, Pops and him leave the basketball court and head to a Lovescene jam in the one of our greatest hits, the EV9 GT-line.

“Music has meant different things in different eras of my life. It was survival when I was a teenager, feeling not alone.”

Before heading to the jam session, Snake and Pops pick up other members of the Lovescene band in the EV9 GT-line. The 7-seat layout has room for all the band members to go comfortably and their instruments to travel safely.

Stop to escape.

Pops shows Snake her favorite Venue in the city, the iconic Band on the Wall. On their way, they make a stop to charge the EV9 GT-line. A 24-minute stop that allowed Pops and Snake to escape for a bit with her music as she performed a one-woman show. As she puts 100% into her music, the EV9 GT-line charges to 80%.

Designed for more.

As we explore some of Manchester’s iconic venues, it’s the EV9 GT-line that takes the stage on the road. The GT-line offers a distinct sportier design that steals the spotlight in the rainy streets of Manchester.
