Our Partners

RADAR doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it’s built alongside some brilliant people and organisations who believe in what we’re doing just as much as we do. From stage sponsors to long-term collaborators, these are the partners helping us create something bigger than a festival: a space where music, creativity, and community all collide in the best possible way.

They’re part of the reason things look, sound, and feel the way they do across the weekend.

Read on to find out more about them and their work behind the scenes or right in front of your eyes, they’re all an integral part.

Habitat Music Studios RADAR Festival Manchester

HABITAT MUSIC STUDIOS

Habitat Studios was born from a simple idea: to create a rehearsal space where artists feel at home. We wanted more than just rooms with amps and drums—we wanted a place where musicians could grow, collaborate, and be inspired.

From the very beginning, our mission has been to build a welcoming environment where every artist—whether seasoned or just starting out—feels supported. Our studios are designed to be practical, affordable, and professional, but also warm and approachable. We’re not just about gear and bookings. We spotlight the incredible talent that walks through our doors, celebrate their journeys, and share their stories with the wider community. Every rehearsal, every riff, every lyric adds to the heartbeat of Habitat Studios. As we grow, our vision remains clear: to nurture creativity, foster collaboration, and keep building a vibrant hub for musicians. Habitat Studios isn’t just a place to rehearse—it’s a place to belong.

Built By Musicians, For Musicians.
