MCR ROCKS Family Festival 2026

The MCR Rocks Family Festival returns to Clifton Cricket Club, Salford, next September for another massive day of music, fun and community spirit. Expect an incredible line-up of live tribute bands celebrating Manchester's legendary sound alongside DJs and very special guests. Headlining the party is an epic DJ battle as the real Bez (Happy Mondays) goes head-to-head with Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets) in a clash packed with indie anthems and Madchester energy.

It's the perfect family-friendly festival, with plenty for all ages. Kids can enjoy safe environment and fun activities while adults soak up the festival vibe with great food, local street eats, fully stocked bars and space to relax or dance the day away.

This is a true community celebration - bringing Salford and Manchester together for one huge end-of-summer party. Doors open 12 noon and the music runs until 10pm. Early bird tickets sell out fast - grab yours now!
