Manchester International Festival returns for summer 2025
Every two years MIF brings the most exciting artists on the planet to Manchester to create ambitious new work – from art and theatre to music, dance and everything in-between.
The first festival under Creative Director, Kee Hong Low, MIF25 will take over Aviva Studios and spread out across the city – inviting you to explore work that’s never been seen before in what’s set to be Manchester’s cultural moment of the summer.
The full programme will be announced in March 2025 – watch this space!
"I am so excited to be curating the 2025 edition of Manchester International Festival, an event I have long admired for its visionary and bold take on what tomorrow can look like. I look forward to unveiling an ambitious programme of international and interdisciplinary new work next year, across Manchester and at our extraordinary home in the heart of the city, Aviva Studios, from 3–20 July.”
Low Kee Hong, Creative Director, Factory International
