In Manchester, we do things differently

As the home of British music and innovation, Manchester has birthed some of the greatest musicians in history; Oasis, The Stone Roses, Blossoms and The Chemical Brothers to name a few...

Here at Manchester City, we understand the importance of the connection between music and football and we want to continue to champion the musicians who have helped put this city on the map!
