Beyond The Music will transform a number of venues and spaces across Media City and Salford into a hub for musical discovery, redefining the meaning of “grassroots” and embracing creativity with the repurposing of TV studios, outdoor spaces, bars and more; building on Greater Manchester’s new music boom by expanding beyond its city centre.
