To find Watch live or experience out more and see our work online, visit mif.co.uk. MIF events online Cover by Peter Saville and Paul Hetherington. Design by Cathryn Ellis. For my first Festival as Artistic Director, I’ve followed the bold MIF formula of inviting around 30 of the world’s most extraordinary artists to come to Manchester and try things they’ve never tried before. We don’t set any rules about the themes they should address, nor about the venues where they should present their work. We simply invite them to come and amaze us – and from this invitation, a picture of the world emerges. Working in everything from classical music to digital technology, our artists come from cities as diverse as Berlin, Cairo, Karachi and New York. But we’ll also be celebrating Manchester: through local icons, from Friedrich Engels to New Order, and through events inspired by the city itself. We want everyone to feel part of MIF, whether by coming to an event (many are free), experiencing MIF online, visiting Festival Square or joining My Festival, our new creative community. I’d like to thank our generous partners and supporters, led by Manchester City Council and Arts Council England. My thanks also go to Matthias von Hartz, Mary Anne Hobbs, Michael Morris, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Peter Saville, MIF’s five visionary Artistic Advisors; and to the incredible MIF team, who work so hard to bring you these 18 extraordinary days. Artists help us to see new possibilities, and we need them now more than ever. We may be living through challenging times, but the Festival is also a moment to remember how much in our world is truly wonderful. I look forward to seeing you at MIF17 this summer.

  • Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley
    For immediate release Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley concert date added to ‘Live from the Barbican’ line-up in spring 2021 Barbican Hall, Saturday 6 February 2021, 8pm The Barbican and Barbican Associate Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra are excited to announce that the orchestra and its Creative Artist in Association Jules Buckley, will be joined by legendary singer songwriter Paul Weller on Saturday 6 February for a concert reimagining Weller’s work in stunning orchestral settings as part of Live from the Barbican in 2021. In Weller’s first live performance for two years, songs spanning the broad spectrum of his career from The Jam to as yet unheard new material will delight fans and newcomers alike. Classic songs including ‘You Do Something to Me’, ‘English Rose’ and ‘Wild Wood’ along with tracks from Weller’s latest number 1 album ‘On Sunset’ will be heard as never before in brand new orchestral arrangements by Buckley. Weller, who takes cultural authenticity to the top of the charts, reunites with Steve Cradock for this one-off performance. Part of the acclaimed Live from the Barbican series which returns to the Centre in the spring, the concert will have a reduced, socially distanced live audience in the Barbican Hall, and it will also be available to watch globally via a livestream on the Barbican website. Whilst the concert will reflect on some of Weller’s back catalogue, as is typical of his constantly evolving career, it will look to the future with performances of songs from an album not released until May 2021, as well as welcoming guest artists to illustrate his work and the music that influenced him.

    Press Release RESOLUTION PROPERTY ACQUIRES MANCHESTER’S GREAT NORTHERN WAREHOUSE FOR £71.1 MILLION October 2013 - Second purchase for Resolution Fund IV offers value creation opportunities though active asset management- - Peterson Group joins Resolution in latest co-investment opportunity - Resolution Property has exchanged contracts to buy the 339,000-sq-ft Great Northern Warehouse retail and leisure development in Manchester from Capital & Regional plc for £71.1 million. The deal, in which leading Hong Kong property company Peterson Group is a co-investor with Resolution, represents the second acquisition on behalf of Resolution Real Estate Fund IV, following its purchase in July 2013 of a 100,000-sq-ft former department store in Whitechapel, London E1 for conversion into a media hub. It is Resolution's second co-investment with Peterson HK, following the latter's acquisition of a significant stake in the Quadrangle redevelopment in London's West End earlier this year. The Great Northern Warehouse is a mixed-use scheme anchored by a mulitplex cinema, lifestyle retail brands, bars and restaurants, plus car 1,255 car spaces. The acquisition gives Resolution a seven-acre site in a prime position in Manchester, between the Beetham Tower and the Great Northern Tower. In line with Resolution’s strategy of enhancing value through creative asset management, it is exploring a number of opportunities for mixed-use refurbishment and development, to complement the existing line-up of strong retail and leisure brands already on site. Robert Wolstenholme, Director at Resolution Property, said: “The Great Northern Warehouse is a strong regional asset which, as a result of some good letting activity, benefits from a healthy income stream from a diverse range of occupiers, including a number interesting independent operators who are breathing new life into the property.
