Manchester Jazz Festival new date - Entrepreneur Generations

There will be some exciting changes to the Manchester Jazz Festival format in 2019. We will be moving the timing of the festival forward in the year to May 23 – 27, covering the late May Bank Holiday weekend. Additionally, since we are unable to occupy Albert Square whilst renovation works are in progress, we’ll be rolling out a range of performance opportunities that will differ to the venues, timings and set lengths that have been established over recent years.

Artists’ Submissions open for 2019
Our artists submissions process is now open for 2019. We are a contemporary jazz festival and we champion artists playing original work – especially those living and working in the north west of England. Artists can check out our 2018 programme to get a feel for some of the people who have appeared previously. We were the first festival to pioneer an open artists’ submission system and it still forms the basis of our programme today. It’s easy to get your music through to us and we listen to it all: make sure you read through the guidelines and then fill in the online form here https://www.manchesterjazz.com/artists-submissions-2019-criteria/
