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.

Music TV show Spill The Sound has announced a brand new series
Thomas Melia
Manchester-based music TV show, Spill The Sound, is back with its latest series filmed at The Yard, featuring plenty of exciting indie and alternative music faces.
Hosted by Louise Schofield and, Spill The Sound evokes the good old days of music TV shows incorporating styles from Popworld, Snub TV and Granada TV’s ‘So It Goes’.
The series itself is produced by Laura Graham of StreamGM, Greater Manchester’s multi-award streaming and media platform, who create and broadcast the show.
As an official partner with Audio North, this brand aims to spotlight creative voices across Greater Manchester and helped launch an industry careers podcast just last month.
Throughout March, the latest season of Spill The Sound (STS) will be bringing three episodes centred around some independent artists with very unique styles.
Listeners will be able to hear the likes of Andrew Cushin, The Guest List, Dirty Blonde and Megan Wyn, all of which have achieved incredible things while on the rise.
Another big get for the show is Andrew Cushin, who’s been mentored by none other than Noel Gallagher and already appeared on the bill as a supporting act for the likes of Paul Weller, Louis Tomlinson and many more.
Alt-rock duo Dirty Blonde are also featuring in this latest series and it’s no surprise either as they’ve already seen a buzz in the UK airwaves with praise from BBC Radio 1 and Radio X.
The latter of the newest lineup isn’t one to ignore either as Megan Wyn has been hailed as the ‘woman to watch’ by Clash Magazine and is set to support Alanis Morissette.

Every episode has been filmed at local music venue, The Yard Manchester, which provides the perfect space for these lighthearted interviews and spectacular pared-down performances.
This music platform has hosted and promoted lots of local talent including Antony Szmierek, Red Rum Club, The K’s, Hi Sienna and Seb Lowe, just to name a few.
The latest series of Spill The Sound kicks off with Andrew Cushin on Wednesday, 19 March with the remaining two episodes released in three-day instalments.

Manchester misses out on top spot and ranks as second best city in Europe for live music
Emily Sergeant
Manchester has missed out on the top spot and has been ranked the second best city in Europe for live music lovers.
If there’s one thing Manchester is known and loved for over anything else, it’s music.
From Oasis and Joy Division, to Happy Mondays, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, The 1975, and even more modern-day acts, there’s no end to the amount of talented artists this city has produced or been home to over the years, all contributing to Manchester being one of the most prestigious music cities there is.
The city’s live music scene has always been thriving, and that continues right through to this very day, as you’ll see big-name musicians including Manchester as a destination in their UK tour schedules more often than not.
Sabrina Carpenter and Gracie Abrams were some of the most-recent global popstars to take to the Manchester stage, and in the last few days, music icons like Stevie Wonder and John Legend have announced they’re stopping off in our city this year.

We have a wealth of live music venues in and around the city centre, ranging from massive arenas like the AO Arena and the newest addition of Co-op Live, and stadiums such as the Etihad and Emirates Old Trafford, right through to other middle-sized indoor and outdoor venues like the Apollo, O2 Victoria Warehouse and The Ritz, Castlefield Bowl, and Aviva Studios, and of course the smaller stops like Manchester Academy, New Century Hall, Albert Hall, and the Bridgewater Hall.
And that’s without even getting into the countless other grass-roots and independent small venues like Band On The Wall, Night & Day Cafe, The Deaf Institute, Gorilla, and loads more.
So, you’d think with an illustrious reputation like that, we’d be the best musical city in Europe… sadly though, we’ve missed out on the top spot to the German capital of Berlin, and have had to settle for second place.

After all, the famous saying does go ‘first the worst, second the best’.
It’s all according to a new study by hospitality group Accor, which analysed the top European cities for live music by collecting data, such as the total number of available gig listings in 2025, global monthly search trends, and venue ratings, from popular event and ticketing websites.
Manchester came runner up with an overall gig city score of 87.2 out of 100, thanks to having a total of 966 gigs planned this year already and a venue rating of 4.57 stars out of five.
