A bold new music festival is coming to Stockport — celebrating the town’s creative spirit and reimagining its spaces through contemporary live music, discovery, and culture. Produced by team members from Now Wave, From The Other and YES, sidelines launches in Stockport in 2026, with two standout events across several venues in and around the Underbanks. From hidden corners to landmark venues, the festival will bring emerging talent and internationally recognised artists to the heart of the town. Phase 1 will be announced in January 2026 with a stacked programme of live music and DJs. Register for free tickets now and be the first to know more.
