LIMF has won a number of awards and fast became a shining example of a diverse contemporary music festival that blended top line stars, with emerging talent and cutting edge music whilst remaining truly inclusive in terms of music policy, audience, music policy and genre. LIMF is notably a credible music festival which also delivers impact for the city – driving economic impact and upgrading the wider city narrative on a national and international level and at the same time engaging, reflecting and invigorating the local music scene.
