The multi-venue alt-rock fest returns this Friday to celebrate a decade on the scene, sprawling itself across the Northern Quarter, Manchester Catherdral and the Methodist Church with live indie, garage rock, psychedelia and more. On the line-up this year you’ll find some international names – big, established ones like Best Coast and other other lesser-known gems like Madrid’s Hinds – along with some of our favourite local outfits including PINS, The Watchmakers, Horsebeach and others. Not got a ticket? Guerrilla Eats are hosting a free Dot to Dot special, which sees the pop-up street party taken over by artists performing at the festival. Expect impromptu, surprise live gigs and DJ sets, along with the usual scran from the region’s fine street food traders.

Fri 22 May, Various venues across central Manchester, Various times, £25, www.dottodotfestival.co.uk
