Futuresonic is an annual 3-day festival of art, music and ideas that is urban, cutting edge, international, inclusive, and in Manchester which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. We present live music performances focusing on the best and up-and-coming music. We also commission unique one-off projects and artist collaborations, with a special emphasis on projects using emerging technologies. Our audience is around 10,000 attendance city-wide.

Each year Futuresonic festival is made up of a mix of live music in Manchester's main music venues; an art and technology strand featuring exhibitions, workshops and interactive projects in the city streets; and EVNTS, a 'wiki-festival' which enables artist groups and event organisers to stage independent events within the festival.
