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.
Oasis setlist for final two Manchester gigs at Heaton Park
Daisy Jackson
It’s been the music event of a lifetime – and if you still have yet to see Oasis Live 25 in Manchester, you might not know the official setlist.
Liam and Noel Gallagher announced the band were getting back together last year, 16 years since their shattering split.
Their reunion shows have created more buzz in Manchester than we’ve seen in years – possibly ever – for their five hometown shows in Heaton Park.
The tour has already visited Cardiff and still has London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and cities across Europe to go, before going across the globe.
The setlist for the first five shows hasn’t changed yet, so if you’re off to Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25 this weekend, you should have a good guess what’s coming.
There are some notable songs missing from the Oasis setlist – She’s Electric, Songbird, and Stop Crying Your Heart Out have all been chopped.
But they couldn’t please everyone and we reckon it’s a setlist for the history books.
A huge house and disco music festival is taking place just on the border of Greater Manchester

Not ready for Oasis fever or festival season to be over? Well, lucky for you, there’s still plenty more live music happening this summer – and if you’re into your house, electronic, disco and dance music, there’s an event happening just outside of 0161 next weekend.
Fancy a little trip out to Cheshire?
Yes, over in the lovely suburb of Wilmslow, the increasingly popular House and Vocal Disco Fest returns for 2025, promising plenty of energy, loads of local food and drink vendors, as well as non-stop tunage all day long.
Speaking ahead of their comeback this year, the organisers say: “Whether you’re reliving the glory days of clubland or discovering disco classics for the first time, House & Vocal Disco Fest 2025 is set to deliver the ultimate summer soundtrack.”
Hosted at the Phoenix Sports Club (no, as funny as it would be, there’s no connection to Peter Kay or Paddy McGuinness) near Styal, only a short drive from the town centre,
Booked for this year’s festival is chart-topping headliner DJ and Kiss FM presenter, Majestic, best known for his huge remixes and viral house hits.
Speaking of which, local artist, producer and co-creator Jon Fitz, who has recently opened his own bar, Fizpatrick’s in the heart of Stockport, will also be performing 20 years on from the release of his timeless classic, ‘I Just Can’t Get Enough’.
Legendary DJ Allister Whitehead and fellow veteran, Lifford – the velvety voice behind many soulful house music favourites – will also be alongside Fitz and co. as they turn those old market village vibes into one big dancefloor.
Excited to get back behind the decks, Fitz told The Manc: “Now in our third year — and our biggest yet — we’re bringing something truly spectacular to Cheshire. People can expect boutique vibes, intimate energy. This isn’t just a festival, it’s an experience. House & Vocal do things differently”
Once again, festival-goers can expect a day packed with uplifting tunes, a feel-good North West crowd living it large not too far from Greater Manchester, as well as all the perks of a local boutique festival setup too.
Taking place on Saturday, 26 July at Wilmslow Phoenix Sports Club from 12 noon until late, all early bird and VIP passes have sold out, but general admission is still available for £38.75 – and that’s including your booking fees.
