The Warehouse Project announces next-level additions to 2024 lineup, including Disclosure, Chris Stussy and more

WHP 2024 is looking absolutely unreal.

Danny Jones Danny Jones - 24th July 2024

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.

Bringing names like Andy C, Hybrid Minds, Dimensions; Bru-C, K Motionz and Friction to the decks all around the legendary gig space, it’s

Adidas drop Liam and Noel Gallagher SPZL trainers

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Adidas drop Liam and Noel Gallagher SPZL trainers

Liam and Noel Gallagher have teamed up with adidas once again to create their very own SPZL trainers.

The sportswear giant has today dropped the designs for the adidas LG Achille SPZL and the adidas NG Marathon SPZL.

The sure-to-sell-out trainers will officially hit shelves in the new Manchester adidas store, and other stockists, next weekend.

The footwear drop coincides with the ongoing Oasis reunion tour, which attracted hundreds of thousands of people to the city when they played five nights in Heaton Park.

Liam and Noel themselves have maintained a close relationship with Gary Aspden, curator of the adidas SPZL range, for more than two decades.

They’re often seen sporting the iconic trainers and creating product collaborations, and now they’re back with a new Three Stripes partnership and their very own new adidas SPZL trainers.

Up first is Liam Gallaghers’s adidas SPZL, with the Oasis frontman asking to bring back a revised version of an archival runner, the adidas Achille.

The LG Achille SPZL features a khaki mesh base, chocolate brown stripes, a beige suede T-toe overlay, and a sand outside, with a motif of Liam on the tongue of the shoe.

Noel Gallagher’s NG Marathon SPZLs are his first collaborations with the brand since his immediate sell-out shoes back in 2017.

His are a new hybrid inspired by the adidas Marathon 85 silhouette, keeping the suede upper and rubber outsole of the Marathon 85 but with a deep navy/sky blue palette with a reworked toe box and midsole, as well as details like the Eco-Tex tongue and tonal eyelets.

Both shoes feature a portrait of their namesakes on the tongue, as well as spare laces, co-branded sock liners, and commemorative packaging.

The adidas LG Achille SPZL and the adidas NG Marathon SPZL are set to launch via adidas SPZL stockists and the adidas Carnaby and MCR retail stores on 16 August.

Oasis are being linked with a massive outdoor gig next year

Danny Jones Danny Jones Oasis rumoured for Slane Castle outdoor gig 2026

After 16 long years of waiting, Oasis are officially the biggest band on the planet again (not that they ever really stopped), and now they’re being linked with a rather big outdoor gig at the storied Slane Castle next year.

They’ve already done Knebworth, so why not tick another one off the list?

With the Live ’25 reunion tour well underway, and rumblings over what they’re going to do once this run of global comeback shows is done, Britpop fever hasn’t just had fans of the band reliving the 1990s – it’s practically taken over the music world.

There’s already plenty of talk circling – including a potential return to Knebworth – but now Oasis is pretty much the first and only name being tipped for a huge headline slot at Slane Castle, after 2026 dates were slated by the estate’s owners.

While Harry Styles played Ireland’s historic and equally iconic venue back in 2023, the Co Meath concerts, located in the heart of the Boyne Valley, have somewhat dried up in recent years.

Prior to the former One Direction star, the last major musicians to play there were rock and heavy metal veterans, Metallica, more than half a decade ago.

However, the new lord of the manor, Alex Conyngham, is now looking to carry on where his father, Henry Mountcharles, left off in carrying on their live music legacy; and given that another legendary rock and roll band is pretty much anyone can talk about at the minute, their name has already been put forward.

As per the Drogheda Independent writer, John Kierans, Conyngham is reported to have said: “We want to bring the shows back, we miss them. It is not just about the revenue, but keeping the name of Slane as a rock venue on the map.

“It is what Slane Castle is known for, and I don’t want that legacy to fade away. This is one of the world’s great rock and roll venues with the most natural setting. We are working on plans, and hopefully we can pull something off for next year.”

While Oasis are due to play two nights at Croke Park in Dublin later this month, there is now a strong belief/expectation that a number of 2026 dates will also be announced. But will the stars align?

The Gallaghers’ obvious Irish connection has only added further fuel to the fire, though some people believe that Liam has already let the cat out of the bag regarding a second residency at Knebworth – or rather, third, in his case.

It’s also worth mentioning that they’ve played the 1,500-acre grounds before. Twice, in fact.

The first occasion was in July 1995, supporting R.E.M just before they hit arguably the height of their own powers with the release of their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? just a few months later, on 2 October.

Burnage‘s most famous sons and their bandmates go to do it all over again in 2009 (the same year they would eventually split up), with some incredible ‘warm-up acts’ in The Prodigy, Kasabian and Glasvegas.

Phwoar…

Let’s be honest, either of those artists could probably book and sell out the place these days, so god knows how much a ticket for that lineup would set you back present day.

Regardless, if there’s one band that fits the billing to bring back the Slane Castle gigs at their boldest and best, it’s the almighty Oasis.

Whether or not the heavily rumoured 2026 dates are domestic to the UK and Ireland, we’ll have to wait and see, but the clamour is already there, no matter where they sign on to perform.

If you were at Heaton Park or had the fortune of seeing any of the Live ’25 shows, you’ll know they still sound as good as ever.

Oasis are clearly doing something very deliberate for the as-yet-unconfirmed Live ’25 reunion album
