In The City comes to Piccadilly

Drawing on the musical history of Manchester that continues to captivate the world, this year In The City will take over Piccadilly – the welcoming gate to Manchester – and spread out over four hotels (City Inn, Malmaison (pictured), ABode and The Place) with panels and networking events held daily. The evenings will be filled with music performances in over 40 venues throughout Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

“We are thrilled to once again hold In The City here in Manchester,” remarked Livesey. “After much discussion and enthusiastic support from Manchester City Council our move to the Piccadilly area will enable us to accommodate the significant number of delegates who want to experience the best of the up and coming musical artists on the scene today.”
