No Art Manchester Reveals Spectacular Location and Two-Stage Festival Line-up

Curated by Dutch duo ANOTR, No Art Manchester Open Air is set to host their biggest show outside the Netherlands yet, featuring a power-packed line-up with Marco Carola, Max Dean, Chaos in the CBD, and more.

Over the years, No Art events have built a reputation for combining forward-thinking house music with immersive art and unconventional locations. Previous editions have taken place in cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Miami, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. As No Art scales further, their recently announced Greater Manchester edition will be the brand’s largest UK open-air show to date, with large-scale installations and production elements unlike anything seen before at Bolesworth Castle.

Launching on May 30, 2026, with an expanded festival format, the venue introduces a two-stage setup for the first time at a No Art Open Air event outside the Netherlands, transforming the edition into a full festival experience on 6,000 acres of the beautiful castle grounds.

The main stage will feature a selection of artists closely connected to the No Art sound alongside major international names. Early confirmations include, of course, event founders ANOTR, alongside Marco Carola, Max Dean and No Art regulars Toman, Benja and Silvie Loto. A second stage will host a program of house and underground electronic artists, including Arapu, Chaos In The CBD, Priku, Us Two, NTS tastemaker Moxie, and more.

Speaking on the announcement, Marketing Director Oliver Hackett shares: “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.”

To support access to the countryside venue, organizers are coordinating an extensive coach network in partnership with Big Green Coach, offering direct services from Manchester, Stockport, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and additional UK cities. The site will also offer on-site parking and remain accessible by train to nearby stations, followed by a short taxi journey or dedicated shuttle buses.

Located roughly an hour south of Manchester, Bolesworth Castle provides a spectacular backdrop and stunning open-air setting with expanded space for production, art installations and extended music programming. The rural location also allows for a higher-quality listening experience across the site.
