https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-63743199?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGAA music festival has frozen its ticket prices after its director said there was "no way" they could charge more and price people who were dealing with rising living costs out of attending.
Sian Roberts said entry to Salford's Sounds From The Other City in April 2023 would cost the same as this year.
She said the "ethos" of the event was to be "accessible to everyone" and raising prices was counter to that.
"We are about collaboration and bringing people together," she added.
The one-day festival, which began in 2005, describes itself as a celebration of "the off-kilter beauty of Salford, the oft-overlooked 'other city' to Manchester".
The event, which sees about 150 artists perform across 20 venues in the city, champions new music and has hosted early shows from Mercury Music Prize winners Sampha and Alt-J and fellow award nominees Slowthai, Hannah Peel, GoGo Penguin and Black Midi.
