MPF2025: HERE WE GO!

MPF2025 is set for take off! The music news is all about Manchester this week so what better time to start telling you who is descending on the city come April!

It’s our TENTH anniversary so we’ll milk that for all it’s worth and bring you a selection of what we think are some of the best bands around. The last decade has flown by and it’s amazing to still be a thing so thank you infinitely for your support and eagerness to keep coming back.

We’ve dreamed of welcoming THE MENZINGERS to MPF for a very long time and now it’s actually happening for real. Happy anniversary to us! Philly is in the house.

The legends in STRUNG OUT have shaped some of our music tastes and influenced so many bands that we like so to finally see them on your stage here will be a special moment.

Italian ska crew TALCO kill it across Europe with show stealing sets so we are proper excited to finally bring them to Manchester. Another huge influence and a band very dear to us is BELVEDERE who are back for their 3rd MPF appearance. We just couldn’t have a 10 year party without them.

We were super excited to see SINGLE MOTHERS this year before their unfortunate postponement so it’s ace they are quickly trying again and joining us at MPF. Amazing band that you just don’t want to miss. The wonderful FRANZ NICOLAY (THE HOLD STEADY/ THE WORLD INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY) is also making his long awaited MPF debut and we couldn’t be happier about it.

We always like to add the London flavour to our line up so we’ve invited three absolute corkers in THE CHISEL, THE RESTARTS and CALL ME MALCOLM to remind us how the south does it and if you’re concerned this all sounds like too much of a good time, fear not, our friends in ONSIND, FAINTEST IDEA and ROUGHNECK RIOT will bring you back down to earth

They will be joined by the incredible:

BRATAKUS, FOR I AM, PUSSY LIQUOR, DRUNKTANK, JODIE FASTER, ABRASKADABRA, THE SEWER CATS, BURNT TAPES, JAWLESS, FAST BLOOD, ELECTRIC PRESS, SUNLINER, MARK MURPHY & THE MEDS, ALLDEEPENDS, BACK TEETH, THE CAROLYN, PACKERS, MUDCLUB, MERE AMORE and FEIGN.

We’ll be with you soon for even more announcements including loads more bands, comedy and poetry performers, podcasts, stalls, merch and all of our after parties.

Do not sleep on tickets. Grab yours HERE!
