HUNGRY PIGEON – The Northern Quarter Festival - May 22nd-25th 2009

Manchester's Northern Quarter is one of the most unique districts of Manchester city centre and following a hugely successful inaugural event in 2008 under the name MAPS FESTIVAL which attracted over 6000 visitors to the city centre, Hungry Pigeon in 2009 will put the spotlight on the creative artists both here in Manchester and across the UK.

With an incredible schedule of live music from 200 bands, plus live art, poetry, short films, U18s events, art exhibitions, busking and even its very own Northern Quarter art treasure trail, HUNGRY PIGEON really does have something for everyone! It is spread over 20 venues around the Northern Quarter, and also features a massive outdoor stage in the heart of Manchester City Centre – Piccadilly Gardens!!

Partnering with Manchester City Council this year will see the weekend culminate in a large outdoor stage in a secret location on the May Bank Holiday for up to 5000 people.
