Off The Record festival and conference for new and emerging music will bring a cracking array of acts to Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

Shared all at once with no holds barred, the full Off The Record 2018 music line-up has been announced, carefully hand-picked by trusted industry curators for its third year.

After two sellout years in a row, Off The Record returns to Manchester’s Northern Quarter on 15 and 16 November, with more venues than ever. Curators include Everything Everything, Huw Stephens, Rob Da Bank, Ana Matronic, Fickle Friends and The Orielles and will be bringing their most tipped unsigned acts to the OTRMCR stages.

Everything Everything will curate their own stage at this year’s Off The Record, choosing the entire line-up for the Band On The Wall venue, with CHILDCARE, Giant Boys, See Thru Hands, SPQR and vwls confirmed to play, alongside a DJ set from the band themselves.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Northern Quarter bands including Wooze (selected by John Kennedy, Radio X), Glasgow’s The Ninth Wave (a Distiller pick), and Peaness (chosen by Make Noise) grace the stages across eight of Manchester’s most revered venues.

Did we say tickets are only £15?
