Art for Manchester – This Is More Than a Gig

Art for Manchester is a grassroots movement using live music, creativity, and community to raise £10,000 for local Manchester charities tackling poverty, mental health, and homelessness.

We’re bringing together artists, musicians, and everyday people through a series of powerful, inclusive events and a 10-band compilation album — all made with heart, purpose, and a love for this city.

Key Events:

• Summer Carnival Launch – August 9th & 10th @ Barca, Castlefield: Music, food trucks, family fun

• Social Club Night – September in Manchester city centre: Bingo, cabaret, special guests

• Compilation Album Launch – October

• Final Fundraiser Gig – November @ a huuuuuuuge secret Manchester centre venue

Your donation helps make this movement real. Every penny raised goes to Manchester-based causes doing vital work on the ground.

This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a celebration of what happens when art stands up for something.

Support the movement. Be part of the change.
