Neck of the Woods have announced it is returning in 2023 on the 8th July.
Like this years inaugural event it will bring together some of the city’s best new artists as well as legends from Manchester’s musical heritage and taking place at the Klondyke in Levenshulme.
This years festival featured an eclectic mix of 21 acts ranging from the father and son duo Man and Boy to 14 year old Alex Spencer and queer indie-pop songstress Minerva Daisy to electronic singer-songwriter Test Car Girl. Highlights of the day included sets from Pagans S.O.H, Dirty Laces and the Queen Of Manchester, Rowetta.

In 2023 the organisers are aiming to go bigger and better. Speaking of the plans, Sam Brunt, spokesperson for the festival said, “We were so pleased with how last year’s festival went and it has given us a great platform to be even more ambitious this time around. We have spent the last six months scouring the Manchester scene and can’t wait to show you what we have found. There will be a couple of familiar faces but there are so many exciting bands that we can’t wait to unveil.”
Early bird tickets for this year’s Neck of the Woods are set at last year’s prices coming in at just £15 for a full day of music, stalls, food and drink and you can buy them here

A Plea From Louder Than War
Louder Than War is run by a small but dedicated independent team, and we rely on the small amount of money we generate to keep the site running smoothly. Any money we do get is not lining the pockets of oligarchs or mad-cap billionaires dictating what our journalists are allowed to think and write, or hungry shareholders. We know times are tough, and we want to continue bringing you news on the most interesting releases, the latest gigs and anything else that tickles our fancy. We are not driven by profit, just pure enthusiasm for a scene that each and every one of us is passionate about.
To us, music and culture are eveything, without them, our very souls shrivel and die. We do not charge artists for the exposure we give them and to many, what we do is absolutely vital. Subscribing to one of our paid tiers takes just a minute, and each sign-up makes a huge impact, helping to keep the flame of independent music burning! Please click the button below to help.
