Jointly organised by a number of groups, including Manchester's The Warehouse Project[1] and Live Nation, the festival started life as Mad Ferret Festival in Platt Fields Park, Rusholme, before moving to Heaton Park in north Manchester in 2013 in order to accommodate the increased numbers attending.[2] By 2023 the non-camping festival[3] has a capacity of 82,500 people over the two days.[4]
