This year, our fifth, we have attempted to give you our most cohesive, yet characteristically diverse programme yet, which reflects our continued ambition, passion and desire to always step up.

LIMF is also celebrating amazing periods of extraordinary music, from across various genres, all of which have had a positive impact on our city’s culture and its creatives. With one eye looking back and one eye looking forward, we celebrate and Remember The Times!
