AJ Tracey, Nines and Knucks to Headline size?sessions Festival in Manchester
More acts are expected to be announced soon.
Streetwear and footwear retailer size? has announced the launch of its very own size?sessions music festival.
Taking place in the city of Manchester, the festival has been designed to unite the cultures of music and fashion. By hosting three stages across the 02 Victoria Warehouse venue, a collective of UK-based talent will be performing. The likes of of AJ Tracey, Nines, Miraa May, and Knucks – who recently went number 3 in the U.K. album chart with his album ALPHA PLACE – have taken the top spots on the bill.
As well as the headline names, other rap artists such as Mancunian up-and-comer Comfy and Juice Menace will be performing alongside singer-songwriter Tamera and Manchester’s own “Sisterz of Darkness” duo The KTNA.
First debuting as an in-store-only experience, size?sessions have continued to grow with its consistent support of emerging talent within cities that stretch further than the most popular musical hubs in the U.K. However, during the size?sessions festival, festival-goers will also be able to document their time at the event in the new “Instagram room” in collaboration with size?’s in-house brand Homegrown.
You can have a closer look at the first instalment of the size?sessions line-up above and those who wish to attend can purchase the pre-sale tickets on the official size? website on June 22 from 10 a.m. GMT (6 a.m. EST) while the general sale tickets will be available on June 24 on the official Gigs and Tours website.
