Scruff of the Neck Founder Mark Lippmann explains the unique music industry community concept: 

“Year’s End Festival will see up to 2,000 of us across 10 stages with one aim: to end the year with one big party and chance to spend quality time together whilst enjoying our artists before the music industry Christmas break. We are also introducing an international stage for 2024, extending the invite far and wide to our friends across the continent to join us and allow us to show just what Manchester has to offer.”
