The last few acts and events for the latest Warehouse Project season have been released and the 2024 calendar is now full to bursting with some of the biggest and best names in electronic music.
It won’t surprise you one bit to learn that pretty much everything that had been previously announced has now sold out, or very close to it. So what else is on at The Warehouse Project this year? Well, this:
Rounding out the first half of WHP 2024 is TRICK Manchester presented by the crowd-pleaser Patrick Topping, set to take place on Friday, 11 October, with the award-winning DJ and producer inviting the likes of Eats Everything, Cloonee, Boys Noize, Prospa to join him.

Less than a month later, the second half of this season kicks off with UP YA ARCHIVES hosted, of course, by rising Northern star, Nia Archives, on Friday, 1 November. Moving to Manchester at the start of her career, she’s now one of the most promising names on the scene.
Bringing along other big names such as a Casisdead, a Goldie b2b Special Request, Girls Don’t Sync and viral hit-makers Interplanetary Criminal for the ride, this is arguably among the most exciting dates on the calendar, alongside PAWSA returning the following night after two sold-out Concourse shows last year.

Then you’ve got Gorgon City and Dom Dolla combining forces for a curated show on 8, November but, to be honest, it’s the special guests we’re most excited about as Eliza Rose, Denis Sulta and personal favourites SG Lewis will also be up on the stage.
Last but quite literally the opposite of least, you’ve got the 2024 edition of the legendary Haçienda club night harking back to the glory days of ‘Madchester’, which will see the likes of Orbital, Armand Van Helden, Kerri Chandler, Groove Armada (DJ Set), David Morales all performing on 7 December before the iconic New Year’s Eve closing party a few weeks later. God, this is going to be fun.

Morrissey has just announced a huge homecoming gig, heading to Manchester this summer.
The outspoken singer and The Smiths legend will be heading to Co-op Live as part of a short run of UK dates in 2025.
His newly-announced Manchester gig is the largest by far of his 2025 shows, joined by two smaller gigs at the O2 Academy in Glasgow.
The star has announced the gigs – his only appearances in the UK this year – off the back of his sold-out 2024 tour of North America.
Morrissey will be back in Manchester for his first-ever show at the new Co-op Live arena in June.
Support in Manchester will come from Brigitte Calls Me Baby.
Morrissey is best-known as the lead singer of The Smiths, going on to create a rich catalogue of songs including There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, This Charming Man, and How Soon Is Now?
The Smiths are considered one of the world’s most influential bands and one that put Manchester firmly on the global music map.
He also has 13 solo studio albums, a string of chart-topping records, and an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British music.
Tickets for Morrissey at Co-op Live in Manchester go on general sale at 9am on Friday 14 February HERE.
