  • In The City is a yearly festival and music industry conference devised by the late Tony Wilson, formerly of Factory Records and Granada Television, and his partner Yvette Livesey. For most years, the In The City festival is based in Manchester, England with music industry conferences being held in the Midland Hotel and gigs, open to the public as well as A&R, held in many venues across the city. In The City aims to be Britain's answer to the SXSW festival in Texas, with many new bands and acts being discovered and signed by record company bosses. In September 2005 the compilation album In The City - Unsigned 2005 was released on iTunes featuring songs performed by unsigned bands which played at the festival that year. This has continued annually. A southern hemisphere edition of In The City was planned for late 2007. However, the conference was postponed as a result of Wilson's emergency kidney operation . Despite Wilson's death in August 2007, In The City will continue.
