🎶 About the FaT OuT Festival

FaT OuT 26 returns to Greater Manchester on Friday, October 23rd, 2026, for a night of radical creativity. This edition connects two distinctive venues through one continuous programme.

The evening begins at The White Hotel in Salford with live music, performance and experimental visual art. Divide & Dissolve, Victim Unit, Algernon Cornelius and Daisy Dickinson lead Part 1, with Optimo providing the soundtrack.

Afterwards, Part 2 brings the night to The Derby Brewery Arms in Manchester. There, Optimo (Espacio), Abena, Shanika Sunrise, SHERI, Dancing with Stanley, Uma Loob and Bon Appetit continue the celebration until 3am.

Moreover, FaT OuT creates space for queer expression, creative freedom and meaningful connections between artists and audiences. For anyone drawn to bold ideas and unconventional nightlife, FaT OuT 26 promises an intense and memorable experience.
