Without a doubt one of the most enjoyable, heart-felt and affordable festivals in the UK, Euroculured returns to Manchester this year to celebrate the diversity of European culture in all its glory. Acts perform in the street, in car parks, on stages, under tunnels and railway arches as well as in venues on the festival site. Most of the festival is also covered, so whatever the weather, it’s going to be a special couple of days!

In 2011, over 12,000 people attended the festival headlined by Balkan Beat Box and Chrome Hoof. This year, promoters Spearfish have stepped it up another notch, with draw cards including Death in Vegas, Birdy Nam Nam and The Japanese Popstars.

Also appearing will a number of Manchester's emerging talents including Dub Phizix, Indigo & Synkro, Chunky, Rich Reason, Skittles, Fox, Chimpo and Broke 'n' £nglish, not to mention one of the most mouth watering breakdance competitions to have taken place in Britain over the last few years - prizes kindly provided by festival supporters Eastpak and WeSC.

As ever, there will also be some of the best street artists in Europe in attendance including Low Bros (Germany), Dulk (Spain) and Frau Isa (Austria).
