Repercussion returns to The Warehouse Project for 2025 and its first-ever winter edition

Danny Jones Danny Jones - 1st October 2025

Fan favourite club event Repercussion is back for 2025, and this year’s Warehouse Project season is seriously starting to ramp up.

The annual Warehouse Project programme is now well underway and hasn’t disappointed us one bit so far upon its return to Depot Mayfield.

With the likes of Annie Mac, Fisher and Worried About Henry having already ticked off the opening events on the WHP25 calendar, there are so many other big nights now coming up – and there are very few that are quite as big and/or popular as Repercussion.

Judging by the calibre of acts they’ve got for what will be their first-ever winter edition at WHP, that reputation is only going to get bigger…

As you can see, the Repercussion lineup for 2025 is absolutely stacked, with names such as Caribou (live), Floating Points, Joy Orbison and others already confirmed.

You’ve even got the likes of legends of London’s late-night scene like Shy FX and SHERELLE closing out the party as Greater Manchester’s most iconic clubbing institution goes full steam ahead into the early hours of the morning.

God, we’re a lucky bunch to have something as world-famous as WHP on our doorstep, aren’t we?

There’s plenty of the Manc music scene on show too, with local station CROP Radio taking over the nearby Star & Garter, as the pub and live music venue continues to champion top grassroots talent.

Furthermore, there’ll be plenty more spotlighting next door at Freight Island’s Plant Room, too, which boasts some of 0161’s finest selectors, including Metrodome, Joey T, Jim Bane, Camilla Reghenzi and Joe Motion.

There’s plenty more to be enjoyed beyond just the music itself, as well.

For 2025, Repercussion is also hosting a new record and retail market, featuring curated vinyl from Northern Quarter tastemakers and former record shop pioneers, Eastern Bloc, as well as lifestyle items from concept store, Suzy Loves Milo.

These collaborations are a celebration of Manchester’s independent spirit, and it goes without saying that Repercussion, Barry Can’t Swim, Homobloc, and so many other huge electronic nights wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the grassroots tradition running throughout our city’s culture.

Pre-sale will be available from 9am this Friday, 9 October, and general admission goes live from 12 noon; get ready to grab your tickets HERE. In the meantime, you can study the rest of the WHP 25 dates in full down below.

Elbow announce three very intimate shows in Manchester

Elbow have announced a three-night Manchester residency, and they’ll be playing a much more intimate venue than their usual.

The Bury-formed rock legends have announced a run of ‘very special’ intimate gigs to celebrate 25 years of their debut studio album, Asleep In The Back.

Elbow frontman Guy Garvey has said the band want it to be a ‘time machine night’ for both them and their fans.

Last time Elbow played a hometown gig, it was an enormous outdoor summer show at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester.

And the time before that, they were opening the UK’s largest indoor arena, the Co-op Live (admittedly, they weren’t supposed to open the venue, but its opening got delayed to land on the date of their gig).

So to see them play to a crowd of just 1,500 people is not an occurrence we’re likely to see again for a while.

Elbow have just announced three intimate Manchester gigs, performing at the O2 Ritz this November.

They’ll perform their debut, Asleep In The Back, in its entirety, along with selected B-sides and rarities.

Speaking of the announcement, Guy Garvey said: “It’s fascinating for us to revisit the atmosphere we created, and the Ritz feels like the perfect setting to capture that atmosphere.

“A time machine night for us and for the fans. See you there.”

Elbow will perform at O2 Ritz Manchester on Friday 20, Saturday 21, and Sunday 22 November.

Tickets will go on general sale from 10am on Friday 4 September HERE, with an artist presale from 10am on Wednesday 2 September.

Andy Burnham’s favourite Manchester pub, restaurant, neighbourhood and Sunday roast

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Andy Burnham's favourite Manchester pub, restaurant, neighbourhood and Sunday roast

Andy Burnham’s favourite pub, restaurant, neighbourhood, and Sunday roast have been revealed – and the man’s got taste.

Old footage of now-PM Andy Burnham chatting to content creator Isaac Likes has been doing the rounds again, and while the interview dates back to before Andy left us and headed down to the big smoke, his Manchester recommendations still stand.

From his go-to neighbourhood and favourite pub to where he heads for a Sunday roast, and even the song he likes to play when he gets behind the decks, Burnham gave us a glimpse into his ideal Manchester day.

First up, there’s the Northern Quarter, which Burnham reckons has to be his favourite neighbourhood in the city.

He said: “Got to be the Northern Quarter. It’s the place where it’s all happening.”

When it comes to food, he singled out Firehouse, sitting on the edge of the Northern Quarter, as one of his favourite places to eat. He also gave a shoutout to its sister venue Ramona, where he’s been known to get behind the decks.

Andy said: “On the edge of the Northern Quarter, Firehouse is a place I love to go. Ramona Pizza, I’ve DJ’d there – if the mayor DJs there it’s gotta be alright.”

For a proper pint, Burnham’s choice is a little more traditional, saying his favourite pub is the ‘proper old school’ Peveril of the Peak.

The beautiful tiled pub was recently named the best in the UK, just days before its legendary landlady Nancy passed away.

When Sunday rolls around, Burnham said he has a couple of options up his sleeve. The Wharf in Castlefield gets a mention, as does Edinburgh Castle up in Ancoats.

He said: “We love our gravy, we drink it by the pint in Manchester.”

Of course, no conversation with Burnham about Manchester would be complete without talking music.

Asked to name the best Manchester band of all time, he offered a few contenders – The Smiths, New Order, and, ultimately, The Stone Roses.

“The band I think are quintessentially Manchester is The Stone Roses. That was peak Manchester,” he said.
