We thank Tony Harlow (CEO Warner Music UK) and Warner Music UK for believing in our vision to grow events outside of London and for supporting our commitment to consistency. By returning year after year, we've been able to build a strong foundation, collaborate closely with Manchester's music industry leaders, and expand our community reach. For us, it's important to be physically present in regions beyond London - connecting face-to-face and ensuring equal access and opportunities for those across the North of England. Manchester is our second home and we could not be prouder."
