It was originally imagined by John Helps (of Leicester based instrumental band Maybeshewill) as a way to bring exciting new and original music, comedy, art, film and photography in to the city centre over three days. Since then it has grown and is now programmed and run by John along with Nik Sharpe (The Cookie), Matt Kirk (Firebug), Andy Wright (The Charlotte) and a tonne of other awesome people across multiple artistic disciplines. Partnerships with Big Scary Monsters and Alcopop Records as well as the 2000 Trees and ArcTanGent Festivals have been a big part of the Handmade from day one, and it continues to involve curators from awesome musical organisations from across the country.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nIn its first year Handmade took over reclaimed spaces &#8211; including an ex-library, the city\u2019s historic guildhall, a church and some of the oldest buildings in the city with headline sets from\u00a0Rolo Tomasi, Nine Black Alps, Dutch Uncles\u00a0and\u00a0The Twilight Sad\u00a0as well as festival curators\u00a0Maybeshewill\u00a0themselves.<\/p>\n<p>For its sophomore year, the event grew to include the huge Hansom Hall theatre, with\u00a0And So I Watch You From Afar, Shonen Knife, Dry the River\u00a0and\u00a0Iliketrains\u00a0filling headline slots across the many venues.<\/p>\n<p>2015 was another year for growth, necessitating a move to the city\u2019s O2 Academy venue &#8211; with headline sets from\u00a0Eagulls, Bo Bingen, TOY, Slaves\u00a0and\u00a0Future of the Left\u00a0filling the spectacular Queens Hall, Scholar and multiple re-purposed spaces around the building, the event saw festival organisers vindicated &#8211; creating the perfect \u201cDIY\u201d festival within what would normally be considered a particularly \u201cun DIY\u201d venue. It was a different beast, but it was the perfect festival for the city.<\/p>\n<p>2016 saw the festival&#8217;s biggest and most adventurous\u00a0year yet featuring bands such as\u00a0We Are Scientists, 65daysofstatic, Lonely The Brave, Deaf Havana, Three Trapped Tigers\u00a0and more. 2016 also saw the festival partner with Upset,\u00a0Last.fm, Witchita Records and more to curate their estimable line-up, earning them plaudits from the likes of\u00a0Drowned in Sound, Louder Than War, Q, Clash\u00a0and various other areas of the press.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the festival co-organiser John Helps, said\u00a0<em>&#8220;It feels so good to finally get this announcement out in to the world. Handmade has grown every year since we started it in 2013, but this feels like our biggest step to date as we move in to the main room of O2 Academy Leicester, as well as the many other spaces around the Academy and Attenborough Arts Centre. We could not be more excited about the line-up, and this is just a flavour of what you can expect across the two days.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Handmade Festival will be returning to Leicester\u2019s O2 Academy in 2017\u00a0for two\u00a0days\u00a0of the finest music, comedy, art, film, performance and photography, hand-picked and carefully curated. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=24350\" title=\"Handmade Festival 2017 announce second wave of artists including Cabbage, Superfood, Demob Happy, God Damn + Kagoule\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24351,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28],"tags":[5379,5867,5868],"class_list":["post-24350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","tag-5379","tag-handmade-festival","tag-leicester"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SecondAnnouncement1-e1485567961536.jpg?fit=896%2C534","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-6kK","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":19908,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=19908","url_meta":{"origin":24350,"position":0},"title":"Kagoule &#038; Demob Happy announced for second Curtain Call 2016 gig","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"February 18, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"Nottingham based band, Kagoule, will be the second group invited by J\u00e4germeister to record, rehearse, play and take their next step on London's Curtain Road, as part of their new initiative 'Curtain Call'.
