What would a welcome be without an epic soundtrack?
The Welcome: Soundtrack is coming to you live this November.
At the heart of The Welcome is an exciting showcase of music from across Greater Manchester and beyond. Come and celebrate the exceptional talent of our city with artists spanning backgrounds, genres and musical styles.
From hip hop to soul and afro-funk to punk, we’re shining the spotlight on incredible vocalists, instrumentalists, DJs, bands and more. This includes the soulful sounds of Dija Bhlue, reggae and hip hop from rapper J.Chambers and Indian jazz-rock band Wingspread.
See below for our line-up or just drop by the Social – there's always something on.

CREATED BY THE PEOPLE OF GREATER MANCHESTER
The Welcome is a series of events celebrating the opening of Aviva Studios, curated by the Factory Assembly. Representing a cross-section of the people of Greater Manchester, we’re calling the shots with a programme that brings together the best in circus, street culture, music, food, art and more.
