We're well and truly in British festival season now. Days are long, the weather is all over the place, and pints are lukewarm.
It means that Manchester's music scene has largely gone dormant, with artists, crews, and labels trucking it down to Worthy Farm, or another series of fields somewhere in south-west England. Don't lose hope, though.
As Mancs move out, we're welcoming in a range of overseas artists. Manchester International Festival is the standard bearer, but other tours and smaller festivals in July mean we have a plethora of options.
