About This Event

Outpouring Manchester returns to Vermilion on 4 and 5 August 2026, a free two-day festival that will run two sessions each day: from 9am to 1pm and from 4pm to 9pm. A single ticket grants entry to all four sessions across the weekend, offering a seamless experience for attendees. The programme features a wide variety of performers and artists, creating a broad and bustling atmosphere throughout the venue. The event aims to showcase a large and diverse lineup in an open, celebratory setting, welcoming audiences to explore an eclectic mix of acts across both days. With its inclusive, festival-style energy, Outpouring Manchester promises a vibrant and accessible occasion for all, celebrating creative talent in a relaxed yet dynamic environment. The free admission underscores the organisers’ commitment to making the arts widely available, while the extended session times allow visitors to dip in and out or stay for the entire experience. Whether for a few hours or the whole weekend, attendees can expect a rich and varied programme that captures the spirit of Manchester’s cultural scene.
