Oasis have come out to address the widespread rumour that they will be headlining Glastonbury 2025, playing down the speculation and instead hinting at something much bigger.
The world’s heartbeat has barely even settled since the Gallagher brothers confirmed they will finally be getting back together for a series of reunion shows next summer, but they have continued to get pulses raising with each and every social media update.
For instance, their most recent post is arguably much more momentous than playing the globally renowned music festival.
While the official Oasis account did dismiss talk of them being the Glastonbury headliners for 2025 rumours, they did seem to casually announce a world tour instead. As you do…
As you can see, the words are there in black and white (quite literally): “Oasis Live ’25 World Tour”.

While it feels premature to jump straight to the conclusion given how nonchalantly this supposed announcement was delivered, the post does suggest rather blatantly that plans for a world tour – i.e. separate from the limited number of dates already announced – do exist.
If that wasn’t their intention then they really should have chosen different words as the replies were quick to fill up with reactions like, “WORLD TOUR YESSSSS. KNEBWORTH HERE WE GO”, “World tour???” and many more to that effect.

Once again, while there has been no official standalone announcement post detailing tour dates, it looks like the 14 comeback shows are just the start of the reunion and that the Oasis boys will be heading back out on the road properly after the likes of Heaton Park and Wembley shows.
Questions have also been circling around whether this reunion will include other previous members of the legendary Britpop icons or just the Gallagher brothers.
For now, as much as we want it to be true, there’s nothing definite and we’ll just have to settle for still being absolutely over the moon that one of the greatest rock bands of all time is returning to our lives in the most important music news for a generation.
Meanwhile, fans are currently being tested on their Oasis trivia in order to access the red-hot pre-sale ticket ballot. They’re making us work for it.
Legendary composer Hans Zimmer is coming to Manchester for his Co-op Live debut in 2025
Clementine Hall
Hans Zimmer, the multi-Oscar and Grammy-winning composer and music producer is bringing his brand-new European tour to Manchesternext year.
We all know the work of Hans Zimmer, and even if you think you don’t, you most definitely do.
The man behind the most significant film scores of the past 30 years, from Inception and Dunkirk, to Dune, The Dark Knight, No Time to Die and countless others, there’s simply no denying this legend has been the soundtrack to our cinematic lives for more than three decades now.
Hans Zimmer is now bringing his unprecedented show, ‘The Next Level’, to Manchester but for Co-op Live in another first for the state-of-the-art entertainment arena.
The Next Level promises a completely new show featuring groundbreaking electronic soundscapes and an incredible light production that will be a real feast for all the senses.
Manchester is just one of five dates split across November and December in the UK and Ireland, including Leeds, Glasgow, Dublin and London.
Speaking ahead of the tour, Zimmer said: “For me, every show is a new journey of discovery. With The Next Level, I want to surprise my fans and take them into a sound world like they’ve never experienced before.”
Kicking off the tour in Yorkshire, the new show represents Zimmer’s relentless drive to push artistic boundaries, explore new paths, and continuously evolve his sound.
Following a hugely successful European tour in 2023, when the 67-year-old played the AO Arena and hailed his Manchester date as “the best party in the world” before returning to play it again this past April. This next date it’s sure to be a show you don’t want to miss out on.
‘Hans Zimmer Live – The Next Level’ is taking place on Tuesday, 2 December 2025 with general admission going live on Thursday, 26 September 2024 from 1pm.
If you’re a Co-op member, you can also gain access to the pre-sale tickets from Tuesday (24 September) by signing up for the waiting list.
The Warehouse Project 2024 – full calendar, lineups, tickets, stage times and more
Thomas Melia
Festival season might be winding down but party season is officially upon us as The Warehouse Project 2024 finally kicks off his month.
September is well and truly underway and that means we are once again set to be graced with an abundance of WHP shows — the only thing more lined up and ready to go is us.
From 14 September right up until 31 December and their legendary New Year’s Eve party, Depot Mayfield is transformed into one of the UK’s largest nightclub venues, with acts from all over the world descending upon 0161 to perform innovative sets.
Whether you’re a seasoned raving veteran at this point or you’re new to Manchester and this is your first time trying out The Warehouse Project, either way, it pays to be prepared. With that in mind, here’s all the important info ahead of WHP 2024.
Everything you need to know about The Warehouse Project 2024
Warehouse Project tickets
As mentioned, with events running until 31 December, there are plenty of tickets available, however with growing popularity annually and some of the biggest acts performing these will be in high demand.
You can find the full calendar online, highlighting what events are still on sale – yes, the majority sell out fast every year – and takes you directly to their website HERE.
WHP stages
There are three separate rooms which range in capacity:
Depot is the largest room boasting a capacity of 10,000.
Concourse can accommodate a significant 2,500 concertgoers.
Archive still holds an impressive 1,900.
Transport and how to get to Warehouse Project
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.
Full WHP calendar and lineup
Saturday, 14 September – REPERCUSSION (4pm-4am) Depot Mayfield
First up, Warehouse Project 2024’s first night might genuinely be the best opening event in the history of the iconic club series and no, we really don’t think we’re exaggerating.
With modern disco royalty Jungle headlining the affair, you could have charged out the wazoo to see them alone but Repercussion 2024 is absolutely stacked.
Other heavyweights playing on the night include Bonobo, Honey Dijon, Major League DJz and berlioz, as well as two personal favourites of ours in salute and DJ Seinfeld – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
You can find a rundown of everyone else booked for the night and all the important info here:
Friday, 20 September – Sonny Fodera, Night One (9:30pm-3am) – Depot
Aussie music producer and a favourite of the UK electronic scene, Sonny Fodera returns to Depot Mayfield for thesecond weekend of Warehouse Project 2024 and is sure to be a stormer.
With help from Arielle Free, Saffron Stone and Rob McPartland on the first of two nights here in Manchester, it’s well worth going along to at least one.
Saturday, 21 September – Sonny Fodera, Night Two (9:30pm-3am) – Depot
The party resumes with a second raft of supporting acts the following night including Danny Howard, Jazzy and Nightlapse.
The question is which of the two lineups do you prefer?
Friday, 27 September – Hannah Laing (8pm-4am) – Depot
In at number four is the almighty Hannah Laing, the Scottish DJ who just keeps going from strength to strength and is coming back to blow everyone away, that’s for certain.

Playing the Concourse stage only and already sold out (obviously), she’ll be flanked by BK, Matty Ralph, Nancy Live, Yasmin Gardezi.
Here she is killing it at Parklife this past summer:

Contrary to the name, it isn’t the first date of Warehouse Project 2024 but that’s by the by.
In addition to the main event, there will also be an incredible outdoor ‘Animal Crossing Street Party’ hosted along Temperance St, featuring names like Sweely Live, Ryan Elliott, Dr Banana, International Mac b2b Tau Car and Joey Jackson.
Lastly, nearby legendary venue Star and Garter will also be getting on the action, though the lineup for the night is still yet to be confirmed.
Thursday, 3 October – Yeat (7pm-11pm) – Depot Mayfield
As we head into October and the start of spooky season, we get our first proper outright gig with American rapper, Yeat, who still promises to put on a show despite getting you home at a much more reasonable hour by WHP standards.
ADVERTISEMENT
Having released his latest album 2093 back in February, there’s a lot of buzz around his name, hence why he’s already booking shows at the Depot.
Bringing a number of special guests that are yet to be revealed along with him, anyone who’s been looking to hop on his EUROLYFE tour, this is your chance.
Split across the main Depot stage and the Concourse, the beloved British lyricist will be joined by the likes of Frankie Stew and Harvey Gun; Dweller, Children of Zeus and many more, including true hip-hip royalty now going by a different name…
Friday, 4 October – Hedex (9pm-onwards) – BEC Arena
Heading away from Mayfield for the first time this season and over to the Bowlers Exhibition Centre, a.k.a. the BEC Arena, we’ve got the incredible Hedex.
A favourite among hordes of ravers all over the UK and Europe, not to mention a regular on the WHP calendar, the drum and bass DJ and producer from Cambridgeshire is getting more massive by the year.
Welcoming special guest Bou along with additional sets from Simula, Serum b2b Voltage and Turno b2b Basslayerz; Basstripper b2b Tsuki, Amplify b2b Latte and Toninate, as well as FMS b2b Nersha, it’s going to be a belter – you just best bring all of your energy.
Saturday, 5 October – Boiler Room Manchester (7pm-4am) – Depot
From one guaranteed stormer to another certified ‘you have to be there’ date, Boiler Room lands in Manchester on the first weekend of October and you shouldn’t need to know anything else other than the fact that Peggy F***ING Gou is headlining.
It will surprise none of you to learn that there isn’t even a whiff of a ticket left for this one (we just hope you grabbed yours in time) and even beyond the queen herself, the lineup is great.

Friday, 11 October – TRICK (8pm-4am) – Depot
Next up is a Patrick Topping special as he presents his TRICK promotion across all three rooms, with tickets starting from just £25.
Just as a side-note: we’ve got a lot of love for the Ibiza resident who is also doing more than his part in helping make the club scene more accessible and welcoming to the sober-curious crowd as well as raising awareness surrounding men’s mental health.
I’m putting on a Sober October Rave! No alcohol will be served and it will be during the day. I started playing sober in 2017 and it changed my relationship with music and partying and improved my mental and physical health so much (1/6)

Saturday, 19 October – Four Tet (4pm-12am) – Depot
Any up for a full night of Four Tet? You better believe tonnes of people are, ourselves included.
Tickets for this one are selling out fast so grab yours HERE while you can.

Four Tet returns to WHP for an unmissable day & night party where he will play open to close. Tickets will be available in the presale from £19.50 + BF.

We’re sorry to let anyone hoping to grab a last-minute ticket down on this one but the Disclosure and Friends show sold out in the blink of an eye.
Even we didn’t manage to get one for this and with the likes of Folamour, Jyoty, Shanti Celeste, Theo Kottis and a Floating Points DJ set to be enjoyed, we’re genuinely gutted.

He only played his debut set at WHP last October but Black Coffee is heading straight back to Depot Mayfield for what will be the South African star’s only UK show outside of London.
As if you weren’t lucky enough already, just look at some of the names on the rest of the lineup:
Arguably one of the most impressive gigs at Warehouse Project 2024.
Friday 1, November – Up Ya Archives 8pm-4am – Depot Mayfield
Kicking off another busy month is the one and only Nia Archives, who holds a special place in our hearts given her roots in Bradford, Leeds and Greater Manchester.
ADVERTISEMENT
Not only is she a Northern music lover’s dream but she’s one of our favourite creators in the dance and electronic world right now and seeing the Mercury Prize nominated artist hosting such a big event for just the second time makes us so proud.
She’s got some serious names in tow, too.

Saturday, 2 November – PAWSA Presents (8pm-4am) – Depot
After our girl Nia takes to the stage, a day later we get London-based DJ and producer PAWSA following up with a full set in the main room.
However, this is one of those where we’re just excited about what’s going on elsewhere, as cult favourite and still criminally underrated in our books Chris Stussy will be playing Concourse, as well as Paramida, who delighted Boiler Room fans with her set at Piknic Électronik festival in Montreal back in 2022.
ADVERTISEMENT
House fans, this one’s for you – and the Archive acts are still yet to be unveiled.
If PAWSA is a bit of a bit of dark horse pick then this one should need no introduction. Everyone knows the name Scooter and Hamburg’s happy hardcore, rave and techno music icons sell out arenas all over the world every year, meaning Warehouse Project 2024 is practically a walk in the park.
With support from fellow German DJ Neptunica, fans of no-nonsense EDM who fancy a bit of nostalgia should consider this one. Tickets are still available but we wouldn’t wait around long.
Friday, 8 November – Gorgon City & Dom Dolla (8pm-4am) – Depot
A day later, you’ve got one of the most popular UK duos co-headlining with a top Australian export, with Gorgon City and Dom Dolla sharing a stage they could both dominate on their own.
Better yet, you’ve got the likes of Denis Sulta, Eliza Rose and, perhaps the most exciting of the lot in our opinion, SG Lewis, who we still believe released one of the biggest bangers of the entire summer with Tove Lo back in June. Here are the other names joining them:

Denis Sulta

Jaguar

SG Lewis — this is one of our top picks of the entire bunch*
As if those last few dates weren’t exciting enough, potentially the biggest pulse-raiser of the year arrives on 9 November: Homobloc 2024.
Considered one of the very best club nights on the planet and the unofficial closing part of Manchester’s annual Pride celebrations, it never EVER fails to thrill.
With the queer icon that is Christine and the Queens making her Homobloc debut, not to mention Horse Meat Disco, Confidence Man and more joining him, you best believe this is going to block your socks off.
Thursday, 14 November – Ben Böhmer (7pm-onwards) – Albert Hall
Leaving Depot Mayfield one of just a few occasions this season, you can also watch Ben Böhmer + Special Guests take over Albert Hall with a special show and a much more respectable bed time.

The German DJ and remixer has also been selected as the headliner for this year’s overseas WHP show in Antwerp – just the second time they’ve taken the promotion global following the huge success of the inaugural European date in
Friday, 15 November – Jamie Jones Presents ‘Paradise’ (8pm-5am) – Depot
Now this one is going to require every last ounce of your energy as it won’t be ending until 5am (yes, you heard us right), you know when some people literally wake up to travel into work.
Great lineup though – well worth staying up for.

Saturday, 16 November – CamelPhat (10pm-4am) – Depot
Less than a month on from a full day of Four Tet, there’s also a chance to experience a CamelPhat all-nighter, hosted exclusively on the Concourse stage.
The North West duo have been around for a good long while now but have become bigger than ever in recent times, and with Warehouse Project 2024 on the agenda now too, this could be the Scousers’ year.
Friday, 22 November – Fatboy Slim (8pm-4am) – Depot
A legend of the UK electronic and big beat specifically, Fatboy Slim only deserves the best when he comes back to Manchester and that’s exactly what he’s getting.
With some heavyweights helping split the party across two rooms, this one will not disappoint.
Helping out on the main Depot stage are names like Vintage Culture and Paul Woolford, whereas playing ‘La Discothéque’ takeover of the Archive room, you’ll find the equally legendary DJ Paulette, Melé and more.
You can find the full lineup and ticket prices HERE, but you only need to have seen what Slim did at Castlefield Bowl to know you’ve just got to be there if you can.
Saturday 23 November 6pm-4am: Worried About Henry 10th Birthday
A full decade of one of the best club promotions on the planet, can you believe it?
That’s right, Worried About Henry is 10 years old and the organisers are celebrating in style.Set to be hosted by names such as Dread, Duskee, IC3, Linguistics and XL, with MCing from Chickaboo, DRS, Fox; GQ, Jenna G, SP:MC, Stamina MC and Strategy, everyone’s out for a real anniversary of club anthems.

And as we hurtle headlong toward the end of the year and the closing party on New Year’s Eve, the penultimate date on The Warehouse Project 2024 calendar channels the very spirit of the most hallowed days in the history of Manc nightlife.
Paying tribute to the ‘Madchester’ scene, its ancestral home at the Haçienda which gives the event its name, then running all the way through to the modern days of Factory and beyond, this one is more than a throwback – it’s a celebration of how we did electronic music better than anyone else.
With household names like Orbital, Armand Van Helden and Groove Armada, as well as local icons like Peter Hook, Graeme Park, Mike Pickering and more getting involved, it’s one of the best dates on the entire calendar as far as we’re concerned. You can see more acts below and grab your tickets HERE.

It’s still early for us to give you any info on the full lineup for the biggest party of the year but if you don’t already know that NYE and WHP is one of the most biblical nights you’ll ever experience, this is us letting you know.
Once again, it goes without saying that this sells out in a flash so if you want to ring in the New Year with all the rest of your raving brethren, you best be quick about it. You can get ready to grab your tickets for the Warehouse Project 2024 blockbuster HERE.
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 rave well into the early hours.
Please also note that multiple 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 whichever shows you’ve grabbed tickets for – now let’s go and make Warehouse Project 2024 one for the ages.
