Jodrell Bank Observatory

Jodrell Bank Observatory is one of the less conventional venues for a music festival to be hosted, however with a festival combining dance, music, art and science, it works just fine. Since Live From Jodrell Bank launched in 2011 with The Flaming Lips headlining, they've gone from strength to strength and the uniqueness of the venue has helped create something really special. 

Located 30 minutes outside of Manchester at The University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory, it's away from the traffic and noise of the city centre and really lets you get into the experience with no distraction. Using the Lovell Telescope as a 76 meter projection screen to explore the history of the site, everything about this festival venue is bursting with originality and character.
