The Bob Dylan Festival takes place during the last weekend of the festival on Friday 4 November and Saturday 5 November in the upstairs newly refurbished acoustic room of M19bar. It features acts from all over the UK and Ireland paying tribute to the hero of Acoustic music that is Bob Dylan.

The festival is one of only seven Bob Dylan Festivals in the world, the other events are held in California, Michigan, Berlin, North Italy, Melbourne in Australia. Lawrence Hennigan from the festival said The festival started in 2008 and has grown every year. It is great to have such a prestigious event taking place during the Levenshulme Festival. One of the main reasons for its success is the fact that the tickets are just £3 in advance, we get fans coming from all over Europe and one year, even had a fan from Australia.

Each night has a different theme to it with a major act headlining each night. The Irish night on the Friday is headlined by Siobhan OBrien from County Leitrim in Ireland who is flying over specially for the gig. She is being supported by Tommy Mac, Alan Bonner, Andrew Oxley, Richard Harper, Troubadors, Dominic Richardson and Midnight Mafia.
