Rochdale based charity chosen as delivery partner for WOMEX

Rochdale based charity Sound Roots is proud to announce their involvement in this year's WOMEX. WOMEX – Worldwide Music Expo – is the most international and culturally diverse music meeting in the world and the biggest conference of the global music scene. Each year it takes place in a different European city and features a huge trade fair, talks, films and showcase concerts.

This prestigious music industry event will open its doors to the public in Manchester from 23rd - 27th October 2024, with over 50 acts across 5 venues. You can immerse yourself in a vibrant mix of musical genres and styles, including folk, roots, jazz and electronic, with artists representing diverse cultures and regions from around the world.

Sound Roots, along with Manchester based Brighter Sound, we're chosen as the local delivery partner for the event. Chief Exec of Sound Roots, Tom Besford said; “Manchester will be an amazing place to host WOMEX. Whilst I’m incredibly excited to welcome the international music industry to our city, it’s even more brilliant to have thousands of tickets available for local audiences to some of the most spectacular worldwide bands. 

“You might not have heard of WOMEX before, but this really is the best gathering of global music anywhere. I hope music lovers from across the region and beyond embrace this once-in-a-generation event to discover life-changing music.”
