Welcome to the mjf website
The festival is now over... but what a week we had! Thanks to all the artists, venue staff, festival volunteers, sponsors and supporters, everyone involved in making this fantastic event happen... and thanks above all to the amazing Manchester crowd, who turned up en masse, rain or mostly shine, to enjoy and share these unique moments. St Ann's Square was as busy as ever, the brand-new Leftbank Stage steadily filled up throughout the week, the Bridgewater Hall Foyer could hardly contain all of you, we sadly had to turn people away from the Pavilion... and nearly all evening performances sold out! Next year will be bigger and better... watch this space! Lots of pictures and videos are currently uploaded on various websites, see if you can spot yourself!
