The city is gearing up for a summer of music, sports and entertainment, and First Street and Home are ready with their own line up. The giant TV screen will return to First Street, complete with deckchairs and showing sporting events all throughout the summer.
However, this year promises to be a little different. Following the success of Homeground in 2021, the scrapyard style music, food and drink festival, HOME will deliver the inaugural First Street Festival, complete with a main stage. The festival will take place across five weekends in Tony Wilson Place from June 2.
Meanwhile, James Grigor Square will be a haven for sports and culture. Guests can come and enjoy garden games, deckchairs, pop-up food and beverage stalls. The much loved giant TV will be back from June 1 hosting a whole range of events, showing Wimbledon, Glastonbury and the Commonwealth Games.
