Manchester Punk Festival 2026

MANCHESTER PUNK FESTIVAL 

Manchester Punk Festival will be taking place across Easter weekend, 3-5 April 2026.

We’ll have over 140 acts playing across our 7 venues. Super Early are SOLD OUT and Early Bird running low so act quick.

MPF is what happens when you sit three different promoters in a pub to discuss starting something where the bands we know and love can play to new people who would appreciate them exactly the same as those who’ve supported them this far. We want to provide an environment where people want to watch bands they’ve never heard of alongside bands they love, and an environment for bands to play in front of their best friends and complete strangers.

We want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves at MPF, we take a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination. Be good to each other, enjoy the festival and thanks so much for being a part of it. As some guy called Joe once said “without people, we’re nothing.”
