Cities in the Park

Cities in the Park was a two-day music event held on the 3rd and 4th of August 1991 at Heaton Park in Manchester, England. It was held in honour of Factory Records producer Martin Hannett, who had died in April. Some profits from ticket sales went to African Famine Relief and the Kurdish Trust Fund.

The first day included performances by The Wonder Stuff and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, and the second featured many Factory acts such as Happy Mondays, Electronic and A Certain Ratio. A home video of highlights was released by Palace in November 1991. The bands credited on the tickets were as follows: (see Cerysmatic Factory)
