Neighbourhood Festival 2026

Manchester’s premier multi-venue festival returns this October, cementing its reputation as the ultimate destination for music discovery. Neighbourhood Festival takes over 11 venues on Saturday 17th October for a full day of live music.

Ahead of their monumental, sold-out headline show at the O2 Ritz tomorrow night, KEO are confirmed to headline Neighbourhood Festival 2026. This performance marks the band's next major Manchester show, solidifying their status as one of the most vital acts in the UK right now.

In addition to local talent, Neighbourhood Festival continues to provide a platform for rising stars from across the country and further, with Scotland’s Brogeal and Ireland’s Brooki and Girl in the Year Above performing.

Since its inception in 2016, Neighbourhood Festival has served as the definitive launchpad for the UK’s next wave of superstars. The festival’s "ones to watch" alumni include BRIT Award winners Sam Fender, Mabel, and Holly Humberstone, alongside established live favourites like Yungblud, Declan McKenna, Mahalia, and The Lathums.

Taking over Manchester’s most iconic venues across the Oxford Road corridor, the festival transforms the city centre into a sprawling celebration of independent live music.
