We will be launching MPF2025 merch closer to the festival. Your MPF2025 merch will arrive pre-fest. Please get in touch if this doesn’t happen. If you missed out on MPF2024, we still have some stock available here.

We cannot offer refunds unless the event is cancelled. However, we have partnered with Twickets to provide a face-value fan-to-fan resale environment. Head to Twickets here.

Nope. Weekend Tickets only, we deliberately keep the price as low as possible so it’s still value for money if you can’t make the whole weekend. Buy a weekend ticket here.

All age restrictions are available on the venues section of our Info page. These age restrictions are set by the venues themselves and we cannot alter them for the weekend.

The majority of our venues – and all main venues – are wheelchair accessible. We are aware that some of these venues do not provide full accessibility, especially for those people who may struggle to use stairs.

We are inundated with requests to play MPF which, although flattering, means we can’t reply to everybody. We all run this festival in our spare time so feel free to drop a message, but please don’t be offended if we don’t get back to you. The roster of bands we work with is built from the ground up. If your band is active, gigging, and contributing to, the UK DIY punk rock community then we’ll know of you sooner or later!

We work with loads of great designers each year. Here is who we’ve worked with for MPF2025.

Poster, logo and website design – Millie Rose Kelly
Website – Kaluna
New merch designs landing soon!

We have an app you can download again this year. It can contains the full schedules along with plenty of other features. It can be accessed by downloading the app WOOV on your smartphone and adding our event. Share some photos on it, arrange some meet ups, get busy and make the most of your weekend. There will be a new event for MPF2025 ahead of the festival.

We will! It will be launched closer to the festival.

MPF2025

Manchester Punk Festival will be taking place across Easter weekend, 18-20 April 2025.

We’ll have over 140 acts playing across our 7 venues. Super Early are SOLD OUT and Early Bird running low so act quick.

MPF is what happens when you sit three different promoters in a pub to discuss starting something where the bands we know and love can play to new people who would appreciate them exactly the same as those who’ve supported them this far. We want to provide an environment where people want to watch bands they’ve never heard of alongside bands they love, and an environment for bands to play in front of their best friends and complete strangers.

We want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves at MPF, we take a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination. Be good to each other, enjoy the festival and thanks so much for being a part of it. As some guy called Joe once said “without people, we’re nothing.”
