It’s July. It’s definitely summer now, isn’t it? Still in the midst of festival season, there’s tonnes of gigs going on in and around the city.

Sounds of the City at Castlefield Bowl (6-12 Jul) sees Bury lads Elbow play, plus the nostalgic sounds of Hacienda Classical taking dance heritage and colliding it with the world of classical music. Blackthorn Festival (19-21 Jul) has a bumper line-up of acts including Satyr Play, Y.O.U.N.G, Freeda, Jess Kemp, Scarlet Fever, Attic Doctors, Afghan Sand Gang, Hey Bulldog plus so many more.
