Hey! Manchester teams up with Strange Days to curate a stage at this year’s Sounds From The Other City!
Celebrating 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 17 stages around Chapel Street and The Crescent, from pubs and churches to concert halls and in-between spaces.
This year – our 16th year in a row – we return to a very special venue for us: St Philip’s Church! The building is one of Greater Manchester’s finest Georgian buildings, dating back to 1825, and its Greek style is unique in Salford.

Our stage’s line-up – booked in collaboration with fellow independent promoters Strange Days – features Blue Bendy, Hater, ashnymph, Pyncher and SLAG. Listen to them all via our stage’s playlist:
