Great shows deserve
more.
More places to be discovered. More ways to book. We help artists and organisers reach beyond their own following, with promotion across multiple event websites and participating venues.
Perform, programme, host or help spread the word.
Online. Around town. Word of mouth.
THE CITY
IS PART OF
THE SHOW.
The stage is just the start. Venues, local businesses and organisers can all bring shows to new audiences across Manchester. Host a performance, promote the programme, or bring the people you already reach.

01 / Finding the audience
Help people find
their next great night.
People discover shows in different ways. We bring those routes together.
Online, we help organisers list on multiple ticketing and event websites. Around town, screens, posters and staff recommendations put shows in front of people already out enjoying the city.
