Jungle at Depot Mayfield – everything you need to know about Repercussion on WHP 2024 opening night

One of The Warehouse Project's best opening nights in years.

Danny Jones Danny Jones - 14th September 2024

This year’s Warehouse Project programme finally kicks off this weekend with the UK’s contemporary disco icons Jungle headlining the Repercussion opening party.

You could hardly pick a better act to get the 2024 season underway than that, could you?

Only a few months after their incredible outdoor gig at Castlefield Bowl at this summer’s Sounds of the City festival, the conquering music collective is getting the WHP festivities underway as they top the billing of a frankly ridiculous Repercussion lineup.

From tickets and full event lineup to stage times and more, here’s all the important info ahead of what is going to be an absolutely massive night.

Other heavyweights playing on the night include the incredible Bonobo, the sensational Honey Dijon, as well as two personal top-picks of ours, rising star salute and cult favourite DJ Seinfeld – and that really just the tip of the iceberg…

Repercussion stage times and stage splits

Now, it’s a long old night but we can confirm that doors for Jungle at Depot Mayfield are from 4pm and last entry will be at 7:30pm – they’re always strict when it comes to this as well, so don’t get caught out by being late.

As for when and where this huge slate of acts will be playing, you can find the full list of stage times and stage splits for Repercussion at WHP 2024 down below:

Transport and how to get to Depot Mayfield

WHP moved its main hub from Victoria Warehouse to Depot Mayfield back in 2019 and it’s safe to say the world-renowned event is thriving in its new home.

Just an eight-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly or a 20-minute walk from Manchester Victoria Station, it’s super easy to get to on foot or via public transport.

You can catch a train or multiple tram lines from Victoria and various other points around the city centre which will drop you off at Manchester Piccadilly; better still, a tram journey will only set you back £1.90 and not much more for the train.

Taxis are also widely available across Manchester city centre starting from £5 upwards from Manchester Victoria to Depot Mayfield or £4 and above for a ride to the venue from Piccadilly.

Final things to bear in mind

There are multiple free drinking points inside as well as free cups of water behind the bar. Stay properly hydrated and you’ll be able to party well into the early hours.

Amnesty bins can be found on your way into the building. We urge everyone to stay safe and look after one another. Lastly, anyone wearing a football shirt will not be accepted into the venue.

Other than that, we hope you have an absolutely incredible time watching Jungle and the rest of the Repercussion lineup or, indeed, whichever of this year’s WHP events you’ve grabbed tickets for.

Blossoms at O2 Ritz Manchester – five-night hometown residency is already a triumph

Blossoms are a band who were born and forged here in Greater Manchester, and now they’re back retracing their steps with a five-night residency across the venues that launched them into the big leagues.

Their star has risen all the way to arena level and headline shows at Wythenshawe Park at this point, especially here in their hometown, so the chance to see them back in these cosy-ish little venues is special, and a little bizarre.

For night two of their landmark sold-out gig series, it was the turn of the O2 Ritz, that sweaty spot off Oxford Road where the floor bounces downstairs and you stick to the carpets upstairs.

Poetically, the first time I ever saw Blossoms was in this very room in 2016, when they had the mid-afternoon slot at Neighbourhood festival and the queue to get in went all the way back to St Peter’s Square.

Since those days, Blossoms have come a long, long way, and their live show has evolved and matured from five lads thrashing on their instruments to this well-oiled, hip-swaying, flares-wearing, chart-topping machine.

There’s even choreography now – how fancy!

A stand-out moment from the show is actually a song from their new, fifth studio album Gary, which is still barely eight weeks old.

A spoof recording of legendary Manchester indie club 42s rings out, then all five band members abandon their stations, slinging keytars and marching drums around their necks so that they can dance together in front of neon signs.

Blossoms promised more disco with this album and they bloody meant it. It’s not just the flares and the blow-dries and the moustaches (though those do help) – it’s in the funk and groove that’s gradually crept into their music exponentially with each album release.

This is still indie rock but it’s the most danceable of its genre. Good luck keeping your shoulders from wiggling and jiggling in here. Good luck keeping that grin off your face.

And Gary is one of the most unexpectedly fun albums to be released in the last year – the fact they called it Gary, named after a giant fibreglass garden centre Gorilla, should’ve been our clue. It could border on silly were it not such a masterpiece.

It seems like the only thing Blossoms are trying to prove is that you can be wildly successful without taking yourself too seriously. They just seem like a group who want to have a good time and it’s totally infectious.

Case in point – when each band member is introduced, keyboardist Myles Kellock plays the riff of Satisfaction by Benny Benassi and The Biz. Unexpected.

Blossoms also clearly give a sh*t about their live shows and graft at it – I’ve seen these guys an awful lot and it’s because their tour dates are plentiful and consistently worth the ticket price.

This is definitely the biggest era of their career so far, but have they peaked? Not even close.

There are still three nights left of the Blossoms residency. You can read all about it HERE.

The Warehouse Project reveals return to Rotterdam for second-ever overseas event

Danny Jones Danny Jones The Warehouse Project Rotterdam lineup 2025 tickets

The Warehouse Project has confirmed it will be returning to Rotterdam in 2025 for just its second-ever overseas event.

After debuting abroad in 2023 with an action-packed few days in the city of Rotterdam – whose art scene, music culture and even canal network bears lots of similarities to Manchester – Warehouse Project is coming back for more.

There’s just over a month left of the 2024 WHP calendar; you’d think they’d be getting ready to wind down and enjoy the Christmas breather, but not so: the organisers are already planning what is set to be one of their biggest and best long weekends to date.

Set to take place over the early May bank holiday, the Dutch port city will once again play host to one of Manchester’s legendary club nights.

The second biggest city in the Netherlands behind Amsterdam, the next edition of Warehouse’s international series is set to return to Rotterdam RDM – a warehouse space very reminiscent of both Depot Mayfield and their original home at Victoria Warehouse.

WHP x RDM II is already being billed as an “unforgettable weekend” and if any of this year’s mainline events here in Manchester are anything to go by, they’re bound to live up to that promise.

There’s also a full FAQ page for anyone looking to find out more information regarding Rotterdam, the venue itself, travel and more.

As well as revealing the dates (2-4 May 2025), the organisers have already teased a good chunk of the lineup, with the likes of Chris Stussy, Peach, Four Tet b2b with Sammy Virji, salute and many more already confirmed.

With a slew of incredible acts, multiple afterparties on boats and other local venues, as well as plenty of opportunity to see the rest of Holland’s ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, this is going to be SO good.

Registration for early access is already live, so sign up fast if you want to give yourself the best chance of being there.

Limited presale and accommodation packages will be available to those who have applied at 9am on Monday, 2 December (UK customers only). General admission tickets will go live from 9am n Tuesday, 3 December sale for UK and Dutch customers starts Tuesday 3rd December at 9am GMT/10am CET.
