Beyond the Music has been teased as a global music conference and festival hybrid like no other - and it will feature a wide range of artists when it arrives in the city later this year.
Backed by Manchester music legends New Order, the event is the brainchild of Oli Wilson, son of Haçienda founder-manager Tony Wilson, and promises to be a ‘change-maker’ as it debates the future of the music industry.
The festival will showcase the best new and undiscovered performers from across the globe alongside unique live events featuring artists, entrepreneurs, creatives and music industry professionals.
