Uniting venues, bands and audience, Multi places anti-racism and anti-fascism at the centre of the conversation and music is the common language.
We’re a community of dissonance and dichotomy and an event where opposites attract. It is a space for sharing, listening and understanding. We want new sounds to be discovered and to begin building a solid anti-racist culture in Manchester to challenge the rise of the far right.
