Heroes giveaway: 25 pairs of wristbands for In The City

Manchester's biggest music festival is about to start – and we've got 25 pairs of wristbands to giveaway to Manchester Confidential Heroes.

It'll give you access to all 200 bands at 20 venues in the Northern Quarter and Piccadilly plus you can attend the Doves gig at the Warehouse Project on Saturday 16th. The festival starts next Wednesday night (13 October) and continues on Thursday and Friday evenings. Clear your diaries now. You get three nights of the best new music around if you win one.

Bands playing include Mount Kimbie, No Age, Male Bonding, Sky Larkin, HEALTH and Pulled Apart By Horses plus many more.

It doesn't matter if you don't know who they are yet. The whole point of In The City is that it introduces you to hand-picked new bands who will rock (or gently sway) your world. These are the hot things of tomorrow.

In previous years, Björk, Radiohead, Daft Punk, Elbow and Coldplay all played there. Big names now but they weren't at the time.

So if you want to see acts like this – original, talented, interesting – in small, intimate venues, make sure you get an In The City ticket. Wristbands for all three nights cost just £29. Click here to buy one.
