Feel Good Festival Returns with Gabrielle, Ash, Starsailor

The Feel Good Festival, one of Greater Manchester's longest-running music festivals, is set to return this summer with a star-studded line-up. Soul superstar Gabrielle will headline the main stage alongside indie rock giants Ash and Starsailor. The outdoor event will also showcase rising local talent such as Manchester singer-songwriter Alex Spencer.

Multiple Venues and Food Village

Visitors can enjoy live music across seven indoor venues alongside a vibrant food and drink village. A special concert will take place the night before the main festival, with synth-pop icons Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark headlining alongside post-punk legends Peter Hook & The Light.

Council Praise for Line-Up

Councillor Sue Smith, cabinet member for communities and co-operation, said: "Gabrielle is one of the UK’s most influential singer-songwriters, so to have her performing in Rochdale will be very special, together with two hugely popular indie rock bands and a host of other amazing acts. With the main stage in the restored Rochdale Town Hall Square and gardens, set against the backdrop of the town hall it’s a stunning location too."
