The Manchester International Festival focuses on the City's pivotal role in music, hosting new up and coming artists from around the world. Working with the key venues across the city and a main Festival Pavillion at Manchester Central, this is well worth highlighting on the festival calender!
Manchester International Festival is the world’s first festival of original, new work and special events, and takes place biennially in Manchester, UK. The Festival launched in 2007 as an artist-led, commissioning festival presenting new works from across the spectrum of performing arts, visual arts and popular culture including group show Il Tempo del Postino, featuring artists including Matthew Barney and Olafur Eliasson and Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s Monkey: Journey to the West.
