Disrupt the male-dominated music industry with this genre-hopping celebration of women, non-binary and queer talent

Our midday celebrations begin with the RNCM’s fusion collective K’in Ensemble, setting Fezzy Square up for a day of genre-crossing fun. Next up is Salford City Radio’s Women on the Waves with a live version of their popular talk show that dissects all things women-related in Salford and beyond.

We’re going indie for the afternoon with dreamy, folk singer Coruja Jones followed by an all-vinyl DJ set from record collector Living Room Dance Club as she delves deep into the crates. Nostalgia-inducing New Wave outfit H.U.M.A.N. Finishing up our indie showcase, Factory Sounds presents euphoric dreampop band Foxglove – join us for a peek at Manchester’s next gen of talent.

MIF stalwart Dave Haslam presents another night of Manchester madness with disco-punk band The Red Stains and gothic-inspired singer/songwriter Heartworms. Closing the night is Mx W0RLD – a multi-genre, non-binary Northern powerhouse with a DJ set that mixes the old with the new. Expect some blasts from the past.
