Intro Festival

Changing it's name in 2011 Intro Festival became the new name for Middlesbrough Music Live. Started as a free community festival, in 1999, with plenty of major headlining bands as well as local talent held in Middlesbrough town centre on the second bank holiday in May. There are several stages as well as street theatre, kids stuff, fringe cinema festival and more. The festival started being a paid for event in 2011, and took a year out in 2012, and hasn't been back since.
