Hey! Manchester collaborates with Red Deer Club to curate a stage at this year’s Sounds From The Other City!

Celebrating two decades of programming the best emerging artists and genres from across the UK, SFTOC returns with an eclectic lineup curated by a diverse group of independent local promoters, selectors and tastemakers. The festival will once again take place in unconventional venues across Salford, with 15 stages around Chapel Street and The Crescent, from pubs and churches to concert halls and in-between spaces.

This year – our 15th year in a row – we return to the cafe at Salford Museum and Art Gallery! 

Our line-up features 11-piece folk juggernaut Brown Wimpenny, Chorley-based jangly collective British Birds, Hachiku – aka German-Australian producer Anika Ostendorf – and experimental folk duo Milkweed.
