SUPERBYTE 2013 – CHIPTUNE, RETRO GAMING & 8 BIT ARTS WEEKENDER

In September 2012 we hosted SuperByte 2012 – a musical and cultural first for Manchester in the form of an all day micromusic and retro gaming festival which was one of the largest of its kind in the UK.

On Friday 13th and Saturday 14th of September 2013, the UK and international micromusic community will descend on Jabez Clegg in Manchester for two days of live music, visual arts, retro gaming and more as part of SuperByte 2013 - an event which is looking to be bigger, bolder and bleepier than its 2012 counterpart.
