Returning to Manchester for its third instalment, the homegrown Green Island festival presents a trilogy of day festivals spotlighting underground, underrepresented, and emerging artists from the UK and beyond. Green Island is more than a festival; it’s a cultural adventure designed for all ages that embodies authenticity and community spirit. Every facet of the festival, from the musicians gracing the stage to the local cuisine showcased, celebrates Manchester’s thriving creative scene. In partnership with various local organisations, it offers unique experiences for attendees. Set within the lush confines of Hulme Community Garden Centre, this intimate 500-capacity festival will transform the verdant sanctuary into an artistic hub, featuring three stages—the main stage, a forest stage, and a third stage hosting a series of rotating takeovers.
