To Hull And Back Festival

With live gigs off the cards for almost a year now, a new project has won funding from the Arts Council to showcase the musical output of Hull and Nottingham in one mammoth event on 20 March 2021.

To Hull and Back is an innovative response to the pandemic restrictions of the live sector that aims to boost promising musical careers that may have stalled due to the lack of touring opportunities on the indie circuit of small independent music venues, a rite of passage for upcoming acts looking to build their fanbases.

Conceived by Nottingham’s Fisher Gate Point partner Ian Gardiner (Offshoots/Fisher Gate Point) and indie promoter Will Robinson (I’m Not From London), To Hull and Back is being delivered in collaboration with Hull’s iconic independent music venue and long-standing champion of new artists, The Adelphi.
