Manchester, England’s music industry convention In the City will cross the Atlantic for its first ever In the City of New York event, slated to take place June 13-14. The convention will be curated by Yvette Livesey and English music-scene stalwart Tony Wilson (famously depicted in 24 Hour Party People), and it will attract industry leaders and innovators to deliver debates about the biz and introduce new bands via a series of panels, seminars, master classes, and nightly performances by assorted British artists. The event has previously included music legends such as the Smiths’ Andy Rourke, Echo & the Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch, and Public Enemy’s Chuck D, among others. In the City of New York’s performing acts, panelists, and interview subjects will be announced in April.
