7 Days. 9 Iconic venues. Hundreds of music makers.
This May history will be made in Manchester.
A truly unique festival will be hosted right here for one incredible week of live music. Headstock is the first festival of its kind to celebrate great music and promote mental well-being.
From grassroots gigs, through to performances from some of the biggest music artists in the UK, Headstock will change the way we think about our mental health.
Taking over venues all over the city including Albert Hall, Gorilla, Matt & Phreds and Yes to names just a few, many of your favourite artists will take to the famous Manchestre stages.
You can get involved too, help to raise awareness and fundraise by holding your very own Headstock music event in your local community. Grassroots Music Makers of all ages, abilities and genres are encouraged to get involved.
Headstock's ambition is to use the power of music to change the conversation around mental health, while raising money for mental health projects and services that will help people from all corners of society.
