Music for the Senses is created by Wild in Art in collaboration with Manchester City Council.

It’s part of MCR Live ’25 – a massive music-filled take-over of the city centre this summer to celebrate an incredible programme of live music happening in Manchester throughout July and August from some of the biggest artists on the planet.

Councillor Garry Bridges, Deputy Leader, Manchester City Council, said: “Manchester already has a global reputation as a city of music attracting visitors from across the world, and with another 1.3 million music tourists set to visit us this summer, we’re going all out to celebrate the massive contribution that music makes to the city.

“Guitars have played a huge part in the sound of Manchester over the years and Music for the Senses is an unmissable celebration of this iconic instrument, of some fantastic music, and of amazing art. With a trail that runs right across the city centre there’s a lot for everyone to see and get involved in, whilst at the same time supporting the next generation of music talent in the city.”
