Speaking about the festival, Wilson said, “It’s not just about the artists and the venues; it’s about the place too. I think people are really going to enjoy exploring the Northern Quarter and venues over the three days. Our festival map contains some of the best and most interesting music spaces in the world.”

The full event delegate pass, which includes conference and festival access, is priced at £170, but tickets are also available for each festival day at £20, with a full three-day ticket starting from £40.
