Manchester’s biggest multi-venue music festival has added a number of new names to its lineup ahead of its return this October. Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival returns on Saturday, October 1, with a wide variety of indie favourites and emerging musical talent, who will perform at venues across the city.
Joining headliners The Snuts, Everything Everything Everything and alternative quartet Sundara Karma are local acts Afflecks Palace and Stanleys, plus live favourites Far Caspian. Newcomers include Cian Ducrot, Gracey and Pastel, plus many more.
The second wave announcement adds to an already impressive lineup of emerging musical talent, including Alfie Templeman, Dylan, The Royston Club, and Stone. Since launching in 2016, the festival has become a key highlight on Manchester’s music calendar and has previously featured the likes of BRIT award winner Sam Fender, Mabel and Holly Humberstone, alongside Declan McKenna, Inhaler, and The Lathums.
