Beyond The Music will take place across venues in and around the city and intends to bring together tech, AV, gaming brands and literature alongside music in order to spotlight discovering new music through a live setting.

Co-founder Oli Wilson shares: “It’s a pivotal time in the history of the music industry and for Manchester, so it’s only right the two are coming together again to decide what the future is going to look like. Building on our civic traditions of innovation and cooperation we are creating a forum for the music industry to shape its future in the new cultural economy, and delivering a new music festival that will realign Manchester as the global capital of music.
