📋About
Green Island Festival 2026: Manchester's eco-friendly electronic gathering
Set in the leafy grounds of the Hulme Community Garden Centre in Manchester, Green Island Festival builds a day around music, nature and community — "Feel the music, feel the love, join the movement." The 2026 edition takes place in June.
The line-up draws on Manchester's electronic DNA and beyond: acid-house legends 808 State and A Guy Called Gerald, alongside jazz and reggae discoveries such as Afrodesia.
The festival is family-friendly and accessible: entry is free for children aged 13 and under. The site — a community garden in the heart of Hulme — gives the day an intimate, eco-minded feel a world away from the big open-airs.
