Following the success of its debut event, Revel Collective is back—bigger, bolder, and breaking new ground in the music industry.
This one-of-a-kind event, led by young Manchester creatives, is set to revolutionise the traditional industry format by transforming passive panels into dynamic, open discussions where artists and audiences engage in real-time conversations.
Panels won’t just feature artists speaking. Attendees will actively participate, sharing their thoughts after each Q&A segment, encouraging aspiring artists to reflect on their purpose and ambitions in the industry.
The event will also feature an industry professional panel, offering invaluable insights from experienced professionals who will share their expertise on navigating the music business.
Workshops
Beyond discussions, Revel will offer a series of interactive workshops designed to empower attendees:
- Mental Health in Music: An open discussion on maintaining a positive mindset in the industry.
- Demo Listening Session: Emerging musicians will get the rare chance to play their tracks for industry experts and receive direct feedback.
- Sustainability in Music: A forward-thinking workshop on adopting sustainable practices in the music space.
- Mentoring Drop-in: Attendees can pre-book one-on-one mentoring sessions with established artists to gain career guidance and advice.
Live Music
The event will culminate in an electrifying live music showcase from 7.30pm, featuring artists who reflect Revel’s core values—community, unity, positivity, and meaningful artistry.
A Movement, Not Just an Event
Revel Collective is more than a gathering—it’s a paradigm shift in the music industry. By fostering a spirit of belonging, embracing collaboration over competition, and prioritising meaningful music, Revel is creating a new space where creativity flourishes and artists rise together.
