Manchester’s most epic club night returns to Albert Hall this weekend
Never forget the rave in the toilets too...
La Discotheque, one of the world’s best club nights, is making its return to Manchester this weekend and will be taking over the Albert Hall.
Famed for throwing immersive disco and house parties, La Discotheque will be heavy on the confetti, the feathers, and the sequins, as well as its unrivalled production.
This Saturday, the event will be hosting the legendary Kenny Dope, the La Discotheque Orchestra, Jeremy Underground, O’Flynn, Heléna Star, Guy Williams (Flash), BB (Supernature) and What She Said.
Oh, and don’t forget the La Piscotheque party down in the loos…
The news of the event’s return to Manchester follows an impressive set at London’s Drumsheds opening party (that’s the new super club built inside an old IKEA).
There’ll be an 18-piece La Discotheque Orchestra with brass, strings, percussion and vocalists breathing new life into iconic disco anthems.
And the whole roster is packed with disco and house legends, like four-time Grammy-nominated producer Kenny Dope, also one half of Masters At Work.
He’s also behind significant releases such as The Bomb! & Get Up (Clap Your Hands).
La Discotheque’s homecoming gig is taking over the grade II-listed Albert Hall, a converted Wesleyan chapel in the heart of the city centre.
The creators of the iconic night say: “Through unity, and freedom of expression, we give music lovers what they want: a space to be beautifully and unapologetically themselves…
“We are family, I’ve got all my sisters with me.”
La Discothèque is at the Manchesters Albert Hall on Saturday 24 February – get your tickets here.

One of Manchester’s most-famed nightlife venues is preparing to host an all-new affordable student club night every single week.
Manchester is already a clubbing haven, but now it’s about to receive a fresh face courtesy of events company Oops!
The club night has already seen massive success just over the Pennines hosting a weekly event in Leeds’ student hotspot Headingley every Saturday.
This time, Oops! has chosen none other than one of Manchester’s most iconic nightlife venues, Joshua Brooks, to host its affordable weekly night out.
Clubgoers can expect £4 double and mixer drinks as well as £2 shots and not one, but three rooms of music setting totally different vibes.
The basement is raver-ready with disco-tech and house to soundtrack your evening, the middle room has R&B and slow jams covered, while the top floor takes care of ‘Everything you pretend not to like’.
Oops! also runs in further Northern cities and receives a great reception, hosting nights every Friday in Newcastle and a previous stint in Liverpool too.
This club night company couldn’t contain their excitement revealing in a social media post: “Joshua Brooks is second to none when it comes to sound, production and its deep rooted history in the scene.
“Now, with thousands of pounds’ worth of new lighting installed throughout the venue, we’re ready to show you exactly what we’ve been working on.”
And the company prides themselves on its welcoming atmosphere with the website stating: “No VIP Packages. No ego. No unnecessary nonsense.”
Ticket prices start from £3 and stagger in £1 increments with final tickets capped at £6 – when they said affordable, they really meant it.
Oops! is running every Tuesday from 22 September over at Manchester clubbing institution Joshua Brooks and you can find tickets and more info HERE.
