When In Manchester are proud to present the line-up for Manchester’s brand new festival – the very first When In Manchester!

Taking place on Saturday 16th April, 15 of the UK’s finest up and coming bands will take to the stage at two gorgeous and unique venues at the heart of the Northern Quarter, The Castle Hotel & Gullivers.

Heavily tipped as one’s to watch in 2016, we are thrilled to have Manchester bands Cupids and No Hot Ashes taking the headline slots at Gullivers and The Castle respectively.

CUPIDS are Manchester’s finest up and coming export, with beautifully crafted songwriting, top quality musicianship and an insanely tight live show, we’re very lucky to have them headlining the Gullivers stage.

“It is no wonder that the Northern four-piece are hot favourites among music fans at the moment.” – Gigslutz

NO HOT ASHES are Stockport’s unmissable Indie/Funk 4 piece, making their mark on the Manchester live scene, not just in the present but no doubt for years to come. We’re so excited that they’ll be headlining The Castle stage, although they wont be playing such intimate venues much longer.
