BEYOND THE MUSIC, the innovative music forum and festival, is set to return to Manchester from October 9-12, 2024, following a standout debut last year. Under the banner "NO ARTISTS. NO MUSIC.," the event aims to challenge and reshape the music industry landscape. Early bird tickets for this groundbreaking event will be available from March 28th, signaling the start of what promises to be an influential gathering of artists, industry leaders, and changemakers.

Last year, the event garnered critical acclaim for sparking essential conversations and setting the stage for a transformative dialogue in the music and content industry. With high-profile attendees like Aitch, Rita Ora, and New Order, alongside key figures such as the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, BEYOND THE MUSIC has positioned itself as a pivotal platform for addressing the pressing issues facing the music world today.

The 2024 edition seeks to tackle the music industry's most urgent challenges, including economic sustainability, education, copyright, and the pervasive culture of misogyny. By convening a global coalition, BEYOND THE MUSIC 2024 aims to innovate and devise a strategic plan to safeguard music's future. The conference portion of the event will be hosted at Aviva Studios, introducing a broad array of summits and networking opportunities focused on topics like AI ethics, mental health, and environmental sustainability. The festival also promises an expansive lineup of live music across Manchester’s most beloved venues, showcasing over 200 emerging artists from around the world.

BEYOND THE MUSIC is calling for new artist submissions, continuing its mission to support and provide opportunities for musicians at all levels. Early bird delegate passes, offering access to both the conference and music festival, are priced at £160, with discounts available for Manchester residents and independent businesses. Music-only festival passes are also available at discounted rates.
