There's loads of good stuff happening in Manchester in the next month or so - Dot to Dot, Sounds from the other city, FutureEverything, Parklife and a lot of good gigs coming up too...

I've not seen any of these artists live but I like their work so where will I get most bang for my limited buck?

Help me pick or just recommend better stuff, gloat about shows you've already got tickets for etc etc
