The Red Bull Music Academy has announced a detailed breakdown of what you can expect to see and do when the tour makes its final stop in Manchester on April 16.

The tour will touch down in four cities – Glasgow, Bristol, London and finally Manchester – for a month-long programme of club nights, shows, lectures, workshops, daytime parties, live radio broadcasts and special events from some of music’s biggest personalities.

Once the UK tour is done and dusted, eyes then turn to Paris for the 17th edition of the Red Bull Music Academy – where 60 of the world’s best up-and-coming artists will attend intimate lecture sessions and collaborate on music in an expansive, custom-fitted complex of creative and studio spaces.

Check out a full breakdown of everything that’s happening in Manchester over three stacked days starting April 16.
