FANCY checking out more than 100 artists on 11 stages without the faff of a muddy festival field?

Neighbourhood Festival returns to Manchester on Saturday, October 7.

Established acts like Peace, Rat Boy and The Subways will be playing alongside the UK’s emerging talent in venues in the south side of the city. And there will be a special performance by The View, pictured, who will be performing their debut album, Hats Off To The Buskers, in full to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

Other top billed artists at the one-day music event include Billie Marten, Cabbage, Black Honey, Get Inuit and The Amazons.

And No Hot Ashes, who are on the Wilderspool Park-based record label Playing With Sound, and The Luka State, who recently headlined Friars Live, are also on the line-up.

The inaugural event last year saw Blossoms, Circa Waves, Liam Fray, White Lies and Twin Atlantic play to sold out crowds.

Tickets are £30 which gives festival goers access to all 11 venues. More bands and special guests are yet to be announced. To keep up-to-date visit neighbourhoodfestival.com
