After years of anticipation, the full No Art experience is finally landing in the UK. No Art Manchester Open Air will debut on Saturday, May 30, running from 3pm–11pm, marking the first time the globally respected concept touches down in Greater Manchester. Curated by Amsterdam tastemakers ANOTR, the event is set to become their largest UK open-air show to date.
While the exact location and full lineup are still under wraps, both will be revealed in the coming weeks. Fans can secure early access by signing up for presale tickets, which go live Tuesday, February 3 at 6pm, followed by general sale on Wednesday, February 4 at 6pm via noartmcr.com.
Dutch duo ANOTR have become one of electronic music’s most influential forces, known for global favorites like “Relax My Eyes,” which has surpassed 200 million streams, and “How You Feel.” Their sound moves fluidly between house, disco, soul, funk, and jazz, carving out a musical identity that feels both timeless and forward-thinking.
Their No Art brand has built an international reputation for pairing carefully curated music with immersive, multidisciplinary art in unexpected locations. From Barcelona and Miami to Uruguay, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Amsterdam, each event is designed as a complete sensory experience. Rather than leaning on predictable headliners, No Art spotlights artists with distinctive sonic identities, encouraging intentional performances and deeper crowd connection.
Sharing their excitement about the UK debut, No Art said, “It’s been a while, Manchester. Good to be back. Built on sound, ideas, and attitude. No Art Festival feels right at home. Keep your eyes peeled for the venue announcement coming soon — it’s in an open-air space in Greater Manchester.”
The Manchester edition promises to carry that same ethos: adventurous programming, striking visual environments, and high-caliber production that blurs the line between club culture and contemporary art. As anticipation builds, No Art Manchester Open Air is shaping up to be one of the city’s most intriguing electronic events of the year.
