No Art Manchester Open Air has revealed Bolesworth Castle as the location for its largest UK edition to date. The event will take place on Saturday, May 30th, 2026, introducing an expanded festival format curated by Dutch duo ANOTR.
Set across the 6,000-acre grounds of Bolesworth Castle, roughly an hour south of Manchester, the upcoming edition will mark the first time a No Art open-air event outside the Netherlands features a two-stage format. The new layout aims to expand the concept into a full festival experience, with space for larger production elements, art installations, and extended music programming.
The main stage will spotlight artists connected to the No Art sound alongside established international names. Confirmed acts include ANOTR, Marco Carola, Max Dean, Toman, Benja, and Silvie Loto.
A second stage will focus on house and underground electronic music, featuring performances from Alci, Arapu, Chaos In The CBD, Genairo Nvilla, Moxie, Priku, Seko, and Us Two.
“Bolesworth Castle is an incredible setting and the scale of the site allows ANOTR and the No Art team to really expand the concept. We’re bringing in a cutting edge sound system to deliver the best listening experience that the music deserves, alongside ambitious production, art installations and a two-stage festival format,” said Marketing Director Oliver Hackett.
No Art events are known for pairing house music programming with visual art and unconventional locations. Previous editions have taken place in cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. The Greater Manchester event will become the brand’s largest UK open-air gathering so far.
To support travel to the countryside venue, organisers have partnered with Big Green Coach to run services from Manchester, Stockport, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, and other UK cities. The site will also offer on-site parking and remain accessible by train to nearby stations, followed by shuttle buses or taxis.
