The 2024 Warehouse Project calendar was already shaping up to be top-tier but with the latest additions to this year’s lineup now out in the ether, we can now confirm this could very well be one of the best editions of the club series to date.
News of Jungle and Bonobo headlining Repercussion for the opening party of the season was enough to get us beyond excited and now we’re staring down the face of even more eye-catching events and big-name performers.
Revealing the return of Welcome To The Warehouse, the calendar has also seen two more huge dates tacked onto it, a night of music from Disclosure with Family and Friends, as well as the Worried About Henry 10th birthday set.
Whether you want modern electronic dance and disco music or some of the best contemporary drum and bass the genre has to offer right now, Warehouse Project has you covered.

The fun kicks off this autumn first with an unreal Repercussion lineup in its own right and will be followed by WHP’s flagship show, Welcome To The Warehouse (WTTW), which lands at Depot Mayfield on Saturday, 28 September.
This year’s Repercussion not only features the two aforementioned headliners but the likes of Honey Dijon, salute, DJ Seinfeld, DESIREE and many more.
As for WTTW 2024, there’ll be performances from Joseph Capriati, Boiler Room legend Chris Stussy; TSHA and Saoirse, as well as a Max and Luke Dean b2b, just to name a few.
This event will also be hosted across a total of five stages including the Depot, Concourse and Archive inside the venue, not to mention an additional street party on Temperance Street hosted by Animal Crossin, along with a takeover of the iconic Star and Garter pub just across the road.
And then there’s Disclosure presents Friends and Family; it would be more than enough to just see these guys on their own but Warehouse punters will also be treated to seeing the likes of Folamour, Jyoty, a Floating Points DJ set and more on Friday, 25 October. It’s going to be an unreal night.
Last but not least, Worried About Henry‘s reputation speaks for itself and with a decade of top-notch electronic nights here in the UK, the 10th anniversary on 23 November is already sure to be a belter.
Bringing names like Andy C, Hybrid Minds, Dimensions; Bru-C, K Motionz and Friction to the decks all around the legendary gig space, it’s
Pre-sale ticket sales go live this Thursday, 25 July from 10am, with general admission going live at the same time on Friday. You can register for pre-sale now and see the full Warehouse Project calendar where you get ready to buy tickets HERE.
Co-founder Sacha Lord might have announced he was stepping away from the music series last week but what a legacy he’s left and the future is looking as bright as ever for WHP.

Soft rock heroes Foreigner announce UK tour including big Manchester gig
Thomas Melia
Foreigner are bringing their soft rock classics over the waters and to the UK as they embark on a new tour which features a Manchester stop.
Formed in the 70’s, Foreigner are a British-American rock band known for their catalogue of soft rock, including hits like ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ and ‘Cold As Ice.’
These rockers have gained a newfound following of late thanks to their music making an appearance in an array of yet more contemporary TV shows like Stranger Things, Euphoria, Wednesday and more, having been heard in plenty of films over the years.
This UK tour marks the band’s return to Manchester after four years – and no, you’ve not got ‘Double Vision’: they are in fact revisiting the same iconic arena they played back in 2022, AO Arena.
The band may look a little different on their next visit as Kelly Hansen, former vocalist of Foreigner, has stepped down after 20 years and has handed the reins over to the equally impressive Luis Maldonado.
This newest gig announcement, set for 2026, will celebrate a landmark 50 years since the band formed back in 1976, and you can expect to hear all their greatest hits.
Foreigner are no strangers to the charts with a chart-topping album and single as well as five Top 40 hits and five Top 40 albums – I guess you could call them the ultimate ‘Juke Box Hero’.
The band were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame back in 2024, and to celebrate, they played their timeless classic ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ with pop singer Kelly Clarkson performing alongside.
Whether you’re there for ‘Urgent’, ‘Double Vision’ or ‘Waiting For a Girl Like You’, the New York-formed rockers will be smashing out their variety of anthems at AO Arena next year.
Now, Foreigner are coming back to Manchester and the AO Arena on Thursday, 18 June, with tickets for the gig going on presale this Wednesday, 3 September at 10am GMT.
As for general admission tickets, they will be available from the same time on Friday, 5 September – you can get ready to grab yours right HERE.
They’re not the only rock legends booking big Manc arena gigs recently, either.

Aussie punk rockers and cult favourites Amyl and the Sniffers announced biggest Manchester gig yet
Danny Jones
Australian pub rockers and punk outfit Amyl and the Sniffers have announced their biggest Manchester headline show to date, and we CANNOT wait.
In case you hadn’t guessed, we’re pretty big fans here at The Manc Group.
The cult favourites have made a big splash on the music scene over the past couple of years, playing big festival slots at the likes of Glastonbury and R&L Fest 2025, winning over new fans in the process. We had a feeling they were bringing some big to our shores…
I mean, you could argue they made it fairly obvious where it was going to be held, but it was still a cool little teaser campaign, nevertheless.
That’s right, Amyl and the Sniffers have booked the O2 Victoria Warehouse – an ideal venue for any heavy gig – later this year, following the big poster going up outside the venue in Trafford Park last week.
Fronted by frenetic frontwoman Amy Taylor, they’ve grown a strong following outside of their home country of late, not only winning multiple Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Awards but picking up gongs from the NME, Kerrang and more since 2022.
They received plenty of accolades for their sophomore record, Comfort To Me, and collected even more for their latest album, Cartoon Darkness, which they’ve been touring pretty much ever since.
It’s that same project that they’re bringing to Victoria Warehouse this autumn, with the punchy ‘U Should Not Be Doing That’ performers almost nailed on to sell out the 3,500 capacity venue.
Tipped as a ‘one-night only’ experience, with support from Floodlights and The Menstrual Cramps, this should be a tasty one.
Aussie rock and indie really is having a moment right now, with the likes of Spacey Jane and Royel Otis both set for big Manc gigs this year too.
The early access window opens from 10am this Wednesday, 3 September, with general admission tickets live from the same time the following Friday (5 Sep). Besides the sold-out Ally Pall show, this is their very LAST headline gig of the year, don’t miss it.
You can get ready to grab yours for 22 October right HERE.
In the meantime, why not watch the moment Amy joined Fred Again in the flesh for a live set over in Sheffield last month?
