Intermission Festival

Disrupting your usual festival circuit we bring you breakout festival: INTERMISSION.

We find our home in the Northen Quarter in Manchester with two of the best grassroots venues.

Breaking the black & white mold and hosting a rainbow of genres, across the road is 33 Oldham Street. Our most eclectic stage, audiences can find delight from watching pioneers of synth-pop, indie, folk and more. Curated with one thought in mind, to display the best of contemporary music.

Finally we have AATMA, and fitting with the name, the musicians you will find here are queens- rather noisy and loud ones. This stage highlights the artists who do not shy away from harsh melodies and heavy guitars, bringing with them vivacious performances with a punky edge.
