Manchester's Northern Quarter is one of the most unique districts of Manchester city centre and following a hugely successful inaugural event in 2008 which attracted over 6,000 visitors to the city centre, MAPS Festival in 2009 put the spotlight on the creative artists both here in Manchester and across the UK.
So we're back for 2010...
"This creative showcase has all the potential to gain a reputation as a hub for the best of Manchester talent" - Manchester Evening News
“Edinburgh has its fringe, Camden has its crawl and now Manchester has its MAPS” - Urban Life
“MAPS could be the natural successor to D-Percussion….and all-singing, all-dancing super festival” - City Life
“MAPS is a proud celebration of Manchester’s best independent music and art” - Metro News
With an array of brilliant musical, artistic, performance and street artists, and activities and events for just about everyone, we'll be taking over the creative centre of Manchester City for the May Day weekend...
• We've made partnerships with some great organisations like:
• RADIO REPUBLIC
- for MAPS Festival radio ALL weekend from the likes of Martin Coogan, Mike Joyce and Cottee!!
But most importantly to us, is the backing of:
• THE MUSICIAN’S UNION
- So EVERYONE involved will be well looked after, and our programming and profit plan follows a strict code of conduct... NO pay to play, NO minimum ticket sales...
So keep your diaries open... and we'll see you there!
