2024 Festival Dates: 6 & 7 July

BBC Introducing Stage

Every year you’ll find the BBC at many of the biggest and best music festivals across the country – this May we are proud to be hosting BBC Introducing at The National Festival of Making in Blackburn Lancashire!

Shining a light on the very best undiscovered, unsigned and under the radar music, join presenter Sean McGinty at the BBC Introducing Lancashire stage. Hear the very best of local up and coming musical talent while it’s still raw and unsigned. And remember, you heard it at The National Festival of Making first!
