SUMMARY:Beyond The Music 2026 — music & creative industries festival and conference\, Salford
DESCRIPTION:Beyond The Music is the co-operative global music and media conference and festival\, returning to MediaCity\, Salford for its 2026 edition — four days and nights where the music\, film\, broadcast\, gaming and innovation worlds actually sit in one room and try to agree what they build together. \nWhat’s on \n• Festival (6–9 Oct) — 150+ artists across MediaCity venues\, with curation from SXSW\, BBC Introducing\, The Line of Best Fit\, Amazon Music +44 and more. Second wave announced includes Tom A. Smith\, ALT BLK ERA\, JayaHadADream\, The Slow Readers Club and Cody Frost.\n• Conference (7–9 Oct) — 100+ speakers in round-stage Summits (not panels)\, each built to reach a decision with a delegate vote closing every one. Speakers so far include Stacey Tang (Co-President\, RCA Records UK)\, Dr Jo Twist OBE\, Tom Gray\, Nazir Afzal OBE\, Sophie Jones\, Nina Nesbitt and Catherine Martin.\n• Opening night (Tue 6 Oct) — a 24th anniversary premiere of 24 Hour Party People\, with Michael Winterbottom\, Steve Coogan and Andrew Eaton in conversation\, plus a launch party.\n• The Creative Industries AI Summit (Fri 9 Oct) — the first global summit where every content industry agrees a position on AI\, built around licensing\, provenance\, attribution and enforcement\, convened by Andy Burnham.\n• Billboard UK 40 Under 40 — the first ever UK edition debuts at the 2026 Opening Lunch. \nThe 2026 theme: everyone who makes creative work has a moral and material claim on it — a right to be credited\, and a right to be paid. \nDelegate passes from £255; 3-day festival tickets from £70. A Pay It Forward scheme supports access. \nFull programme and tickets
