Off The Record 2018 announces Everything Everything, Fickle Friends and more as festival curators

Manchester's Off The Record festival is a new music conference and multi-venue festival that takes place in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Returning for its third year, they announced the lineup of curators, with the actual music lineup to be announced just 24 hours before the festival.

Everything Everything will have their own exclusive stage, and are joined by Fickle Friends, The Orielles, Rob Da Bank and more as curators.

The curators will later decide the festival lineup.

Speaking about this year's festival, Everything Everything explained, "It’s a pleasure to be curating a stage for OTR this year. We love the idea of only programming artists that are yet to release a full-length, capturing acts at a short-lived but very vivid period in their careers.”

The multi-venue festival includes Manchester's Jimmy’s, The Peer Hat, Soup Kitchen, Gullivers, Night & Day, The Castle Hotel, Aatma and an additional venue for 2018, Band On The Wall.
