Summer Dreaming at Radar Festival

RADAR Festival is a dynamic addition to the UK and European music scene that celebrates the spirit of progressive music and community. Founded in 2019 by seasoned industry professionals Catherine Jackson-Smith and Joe James, it was born out of a passion for pushing musical boundaries and creating unforgettable experiences.   Catherine and Joe had (more than they’d like to think of) years of combined experience in venue management, festivals and tour coordination.  Catherine owns The Lounge Bar in Alton, Hampshire, and Joe worked at The Boileroom in Guildford, so their paths crossed frequently before both working on other festivals together too.  Joe has been a band and tour manager, as has Catherine, so a breadth of music industry knowledge was acquired before RADAR was developed as a concept.

Our festival is based at O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.  Manchester is accessible through many different mediums and has fantastic public transport.  With an international airport and great connections, you’ll find it easy to get to us wherever you’re based.

Radar Festival takes place Friday, July 26th, to Sunday, July 28th, at Victoria Warehouse, Manchester. A bonus to Radar Fest is that there are a multitude of local transport options near by that makes it so easy to get there and get home safely!
