It is operated by MAMA Festivals and showcases new music[1][2] from a variety of genres. The festival was founded in 2006 and roughly hosts 300 bands across 30 venues throughout the city.[3] It has been likened to South by Southwest.[2][3][4] There is also a music industry convention section to the event,[2] which is attended by over 3000 delegates. The 2011-2014 conferences have been programmed by the team from music industry publication CMU. Speakers have included Michael Eavis, DJ Shadow, Paul Epworth,[2] and representatives of companies such as Beggars Group, Ticketmaster, PRS for Music,[2] Universal Music Group and Topspin. The headliner in 2015 was Alabama Shakes. In addition to the main festival, there is also The Alternative Escape, a further strand of 'unofficial' shows. See also
