The festival is a rolling programme where wristband holders will be able to dip in and out of Manchester Northern Quarter’s legendary music venues through the 3 days of the very best in English Folk and Acoustic music. All of the venues are within a short walk of each other, making it easy to move between concerts, catch up with friends, and just hang around taking in the atmosphere.

New for 2023 will be exciting international partnerships bringing in new music from around the world. We are also excited to introduce more sessions and workshops to the festival programme, alongside our traditional singaround.

Band on the Wall is our new festival hub and late-night festival club featuring the best emerging folk-influenced artists. There’s also free events alongside our regular programme – join a session at The Smithfield Market Tavern or enjoy free live music on our Band on the Wall Bar Stage.

A limited number of 3rd Release Festival Wristbands are now available at £110 (+£7 booking fee).
