The all-day Manchester event, You Are Not Alone Festival, will return in 2020 on Saturday 28th March, after making its triumphant debut last year.

Created by promoter Ben Taylor, previously of the city's iconic Sound Control venue, the festival is in aid of the Manchester Mind charity, which has been supporting mental health needs in the city since 1989 (previously under the name HARP).

YANA takes place across four of the city's best live music spaces, all based in Manchester's Northern Quarter: Mint Lounge, The Castle Hotel, 33 Oldham Street, The Rose and Monkey and Gullivers, with plenty of top class music talent on show from across the North West.

On the You Are Not Alone line-up this year are riff-heavy three-piece Deja Vega (who played last year's inaugural event), Manchester alt outfit Gathering Of Strangers, street smart wordsmith ARGH KID, rock and roll four piece Sauce, and more including HAiG, The Howlers, and The Pagans S.O.H.

DJs across the day include XS Manchester's Adam Brown and Joe McGrath, Hattie Pearson, Suck it and Spin DJs, plus plenty more.
