Manchester based music label Animal Crossing has unveiled the full line-up for the second edition of The Summer of Love Festival. The two-day event, set to take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend (August 27-28), will see more than 80 acclaimed dance acts take to the stage.
Held in an abandoned warehouse within the heart of Manchester City Centre, the electronic music event will feature the likes of Eris Drew and Mr. G, who will bring his live set to Manchester for only the second time in 10 years. The festival also promises b2b sets from Ben UFO, Craig Richards, Toman and Margaret Dygas, plus many more.
Looking to make its mark in the international scene as one of the key destination events of the festival season, the site will also boast a new wellness café hosted by Northern Quarter favourite Feel Good Club, alongside its own record fair, food market and artist’s corner.

Organisers of the event said: "Following the energy of our first edition, we were determined to push the boundaries and expand the narrative of what defined the Summer of Love. An annual occasion to bring people together in celebration of music, arts & wellness.
There has been such great ambition for year two and we're super proud of the picture that's been painted. To be welcoming such a list of amazing artists to Manchester fills us with joy knowing the creative experience that is still to be revealed.
It's not every day you have a factory within the city centre to transform. We're doubly excited to keep telling the story and sprinkle a little bit of joy across the August Bank Holiday weekend!"
