The 2024 Warehouse Project calendar was already shaping up to be top-tier but with the latest additions to this year’s lineup now out in the ether, we can now confirm this could very well be one of the best editions of the club series to date.
News of Jungle and Bonobo headlining Repercussion for the opening party of the season was enough to get us beyond excited and now we’re staring down the face of even more eye-catching events and big-name performers.
Revealing the return of Welcome To The Warehouse, the calendar has also seen two more huge dates tacked onto it, a night of music from Disclosure with Family and Friends, as well as the Worried About Henry 10th birthday set.
Whether you want modern electronic dance and disco music or some of the best contemporary drum and bass the genre has to offer right now, Warehouse Project has you covered.

The fun kicks off this autumn first with an unreal Repercussion lineup in its own right and will be followed by WHP’s flagship show, Welcome To The Warehouse (WTTW), which lands at Depot Mayfield on Saturday, 28 September.

This year’s Repercussion not only features the two aforementioned headliners but the likes of Honey Dijon, salute, DJ Seinfeld, DESIREE and many more.
As for WTTW 2024, there’ll be performances from Joseph Capriati, Boiler Room legend Chris Stussy; TSHA and Saoirse, as well as a Max and Luke Dean b2b, just to name a few.

This event will also be hosted across a total of five stages including the Depot, Concourse and Archive inside the venue, not to mention an additional street party on Temperance Street hosted by Animal Crossin, along with a takeover of the iconic Star and Garter pub just across the road.
And then there’s Disclosure presents Friends and Family; it would be more than enough to just see these guys on their own but Warehouse punters will also be treated to seeing the likes of Folamour, Jyoty, a Floating Points DJ set and more on Friday, 25 October. It’s going to be an unreal night.
Last but not least, Worried About Henry‘s reputation speaks for itself and with a decade of top-notch electronic nights here in the UK, the 10th anniversary on 23 November is already sure to be a belter.

Lola Young shares first public statement since cancellations and stepping away from the spotlight
Danny Jones
UK pop star Lola Young has shared her first public statement since cancelling the remainder of her tour and stepping away from the spotlight.
Lola Young, 24, took a break from her still-burgeoning career after numerous concerning incidents on stage, including throwing up and even passing out in the middle of a performance.
The BRIT School graduate announced the unfortunate cancellation of her upcoming shows “for the foreseeable future”, including a gig here in Manchester, at the end of September.
Breaking her silence after the best part of three months, the London-born singer-songwriter took to social media in a fairly brief but heartwarming statement.
As you can see, the time away from the public eye certainly seems to have been beneficial, telling her followers that “it has helped more than you will ever know”.
In addition to embracing ADHD – even labelling her hit song ‘Messy’ as an “ADHD anthem” in multiple anthems – she was also diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder at just 17.
The latter can include symptoms such as psychosis, hallucinations, intense mood swings, bipolar mania, depression and more.
All that being said, we’re glad to hear that she’s on the mend; we saw her back in March, and you could tell from the crowd that she’s already got a very passionate cult following.
Both conditions and their associated obstacles have obviously affected her, but have equally helped influence her music and lyrical material, certainly, too.
Responding in the comments, fellow artist SZA wrote: “Love you, starfire angel. Your music is FULL of longevity and substance! We’re so grateful for you”.
Joining in support, ‘dark pop’ musician Carter James added, “Your wellbeing comes before anything. So excited for your next chapter whenever it arrives!”
We hope she’ll be doing better enough soon to get back on stage when she’s ready.
Fans are preparing to pay tribute to Mani from The Stone Roses ahead of his funeral service

Stone Roses fans and Greater Manchester locals alike are getting ready to pay their respects to the late, great, Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, following his tragic passing last month.
As well as details surrounding his funeral being announced earlier this week, the iconic Manc musician’s cause of death has also finally been revealed.
While Hatton’s service featured a high-profile cortège which started all the way from his hometown of Hyde, past multiple landmarks and ending at the Etihad Stadium, those local to Mani’s family home on the edge of Stockport are also being welcomed to help send him off.
It's the funeral of Mani of the Stone Roses on the 22nd. He lived locally. This poster is asking people to line the route of his funeral cortege to "show that he truly was adored". pic.twitter.com/X0DYHl10Hp
He had been struggling with emphysema for some time; he was declared dead at his home in the suburb of Heaton Moor, and is said to have died peacefully in his sleep.
As you can see from the posters put in various places around the area, residents wishing to pay their own tributes to Mani before his private funeral service at Manchester Cathedral are encouraged to line the long street leading down from St Paul’s and Heaton Moor United Church as he heads towards the city.
Departing Parsonage Road from 10am on Monday, 22 December, before turning right onto Heaton Moor Rd, then Wellington and eventually on to the Cathedral, you can expect plenty of people to show up.
One of those people will be his former bandmate and another influential guitarist, John Squire, who is one of many famous musical names to have honoured him in their own way over the last few weeks.
Other members of The Stone Roses, as well as Primal Scream (who he joined in 1996), are expected to join the close family and friends at the service itself.
Nevertheless, we have no doubt that plenty will be observing the funeral in their own way.
So, for those of you also looking to honour him, you know what to do; and to quote the poster itself, “together we can show this local legend and his family that he was truly adored.”
