In The City extravaganza

In The City has been a significant stepping stone in the careers of greats like Oasis, Radiohead and Foo Fighters and is regarded as the place to see all the hottest new names.

This year the urban festival finds its home at the heartland of Manchester’s cultrual landascape, Piccadilly and Northern Quarter.

Taking place between Wednesday, October 13th and Friday October 15th the live shows at its heart (In The City Live and In The City Unsigned) will be more inclusive than ever.

No Age, Mount Kimbie, Male Bonding, Yuck, Crystal Fighters, Factory Floor, oOoOO, White Ring, Skepta, Kisses, Ital Tek, Teeth, Andreya Triana, Mazes, John Weise, Spectrals, Pulled Apart By Horses, Egyptian Hip Hop, Monarchy, Gallops and many more will all be performing across showcases hosted by the likes of NME Radar, Drowned in Sound, BBC introducing and Kerrang!

In The City is not just about the live side though but also the conference, which is where movers and shakers debate the future of the industry.

Operating under this year’s overall theme “That That Don’t Kill Me Can Only Make Me Stronger” it provides a vital forum via keynote addresses, celebrity interviews, masterclasses, panels and seminars.

Established in 1992 by Tony Wilson and Yvette Livesey, In The City has established itself as one of the top music events across the globe bringing together the sharpest, most fearless minds in the creative industries

Delegate registration is available for £200 while festival wristbands can currently be bought for £29.

There’s also a brand new exciting addition to In The City this year called The Hive – a new programme of educational events for a younger generation of delegates looking for an entry point into the music industry.

This will run during the main convention at The Malmaision Hotel the Wednesday and Thursday and will feature panels, seminars and workshops led by a host of industry professionals.

The Hive delegate pass is just £60 including a wristband to all In The City live events and is available from www.inthecity.co.uk/register.
