The Warehouse Project announces full 2023 lineup – including huge Boiler Room show and Antwerp debut
Iconic Manchester party series The Warehouse Project (WHP) has released its full 2023 lineup, getting us more than excited for an autumn and winter of sweaty warehouse raves stretching into the early hours.
This new season sees the team bring some huge parties to the city centre, ranging from Boiler Room’s biggest-ever Manchester event to Camelphat’s only northern headline show of the year.
DJ Mag hosts a TRICK label showcase headed up by Patrick Topping, Grammy-nominated producer, Fisher returns from his second Hï Ibiza residency to play a huge headline show, and Worried About Henry, Crucast and Garage People al join forces to present a unique DnB and garage showcase.
As ever, Annie Mac will be hosting her annual Halloween party, whilst London label FUSE will also bring a huge showcase to the city in honour of the spooky season, and – very excitingly – this new season also sees WHP head to Antwerp for its Belgian debut at the end of October.
2023 season WHP line-up highlights
Since its inception in 2006, the series has built its name on huge, diverse line-ups and unique locations, from its early days at Boddingtons Brewery to today’s industrial home at former Post Office Depot and train station, Depot Mayfield.
Following huge success in Rotterdam earlier this year, as well as bringing some heavy hitters to Manchester the 2023 season will also see WHP head to pastures new with a debut one-night-only event in Antwerp, Belgium.
Clubbers and music lovers from all over can expect nothing less than another unforgettable season ahead, with the return of big-name favourites alongside some up-and-coming talent from Manchester and further afield.
