Full details of this year’s Fat Out Fest have been announced, with the venues once again taking place across a number of venues in and around Salford, Greater Manchester, to run 20, 21 and 22 September.

The festival will also take in a nine-hour party event held in the club space, courtyard, bar and top floor gallery of Islington Mill, as well as plenty of exhibitions and workshops.
There is an open call for Samarbeta, which means one musician/s who enters will be given the chance to create new work during a residency in response to the Hybrid Futures Exhibition at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, where the piece will be performed on the opening night of the festival. The deadline for entries is July 15.
