About the Festival
Following the success of last year's inaugural 麻豆社 Radio 6 Music Festival at The Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, we're going to do it all again, bigger and better, for 2015.

With over 40 artists across six stages over three nights, the events bring together an impressive line-up of established acts and emerging artists who represent the very best alternative music of the moment.
Additionally there will be loads of events in venues in The Ouseburn and Stephenson Quarter areas of the city, on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 February from 11am-6pm.
