Band on the Wall has been one of the cornerstones of Manchester’s thriving music scene for the greater part of the last century and exists to promote equality and diversity through music and bring the best music from around the world to the stage – both at the Manchester venue and across the country through its touring schemes. Live music events are also complemented through a dynamic learning programme. Band on the Wall is a registered charity run on a not-for-profit basis. It acknowledges the support of Arts Council England, Heritage Lottery Fund and Manchester City Council.
