About

BBC Introducing @ RNCM: a new festival platforming Manchester’s next generation of artists. 

BBC Introducing comes to the RNCM for a cocurated, daylong festival spotlighting emerging talent from the College’s Popular Music department. Uniting the discovery power of BBC Introducing with RNCM’s nextgen music creators, this is where Manchester’s freshest voices perform in a venue that has hosted music pioneers from FKA Twigs and Jarvis Cocker to Adele.  

BBC Introducing’s Will Wolstenholme and DJ Roesh host the main stage, with an exciting lineup unfolding across the College’s venues. Browse the exhibition from one of the UK’s best independent record shops, Piccadilly Records.  

Rooted in a city renowned for launching the sounds of tomorrow, these artists are ready to make their mark.
