Manchester Soul Festival 2019 has confirmed the line up for the fifth annual event at Manchester’s The Printworks.
Manchester Soul Festival will take place on Sunday 25 August, featuring a huge line up of soul, Northern Soul and Motown. The event will include Stax of Soul, Babalola, the Rumble Fat Band, Soul Temptations and singer Ben Brierley amongst the headliners.

Stax of Soul are the UK’s leading soul and Motown band, and were even invited to play at Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley’s wedding in 2016. Singer Stuart Widdall once famously shared a stage with Motown artist Edwin Starr, renowned for his number one hit version of ‘War’. And, Ben Brierley – known as the Soul Man – is a well regarded and very accomplished singer of the Motown and Northern Soul Classics.
The Frank Byrne stage, situated in the Pump Yard, is named in memory of the DJ and Manchester legend who devoted himself to the Soul scene for over thirty years.
Manchester Soul Festival will take place in the Printworks areas as well as venues including Walkabout, Waxy O’Connors, Yates’, NY By Night, Bierkeller and the Hard Rock Cafe. They will host a wide range of soul, Northern and Motown acts from bands to solo artists and DJs across the UK.
What’s more, any guest with a valid wristband can take advantage of a huge range of exclusive offers, including two cocktail pitchers for just £12 at The Seven Stars, 25% off food at Chiquito and NY By Night, 20% off the main food menu at Frankie & Benny’s and Waxy O’Connor’s, 20% off food and drink at Walkabout, five Heinekens for £15 at Yates’, a £10 buffet at Peachy Keens and half-price cocktails at Eden from 5pm – 9pm. There are also lunch deals to be found at O’Neill’s and Eden.
Plus, with the Manchester Soul Festival programme, which will be available on the day, you’ll get a complimentary Hard Rock gift when you spend £25 in Hard Rock Cafe Manchester’s Rock Shop.
Tickets for Manchester Soul Festival cost £5 with all proceeds going to The Christie.
