A lad has been granted lifetime access to Warehouse Project after he made his own forged pass to get into the club event for free this past weekend.
The homemade pass was shown by the chancer to security staff at Depot Mayfield ahead of the Adam Beyer Presents Drumcode event on Saturday, and it read: “This pass grants the holder lifetime access to WHP events and Parklife,” followed by the lad’s details and pass issue and expiry dates.
The end of the pass also told staff to “ensure name matches pass before granting entry.”
Despite it seeming to be a pretty genuine and “impressive” forged pass, Warehouse Project and Parklife co-founder Sacha Lord was quick to notice that something wasn’t quite right.
Taking to Twitter to share a picture of the pass and comically explain what happened, Mr Lord said: “A new one last night. Someone tried to get in, by making themselves a ‘Lifetime Access Pass to WHP and Parklife’.

“[It] caused a bit of confusion, but [it is] impressive.”
A new one last night.
Someone tried to get in, by making themselves a “Lifetime Access Pass to WHP and Parklife.”
The tweet has been causing quite the stir since posting, going onto amass thousands of likes and retweets, and hundreds of comments from people praising the lad’s – named Ellis Hall – “superb” and “creative” effort for trying his luck.

Many also questioned whether or not it actually worked, and he managed to gain access.
Others questioned whether or not the pass could’ve actually been genuine, pointing out that passes of a similar nature have been offered as competition prizes previously – but Ellis responded, confirming it was “defo was not genuine”.
Hilariously, Ellis also quote tweeted Mr Lord’s tweet saying “Mum, I made it,” and his mum then replied too, calling him her “clever son”.

Although it is still unclear as to whether Ellis actually did gain access to the nightclub event, it appears that those he attended with confirmed he did, with one response to Gary Neville’s son George’s tweet saying: “Can confirm he did get in using this pass.”

“Be assured there won’t be 14408mph winds, hurricane force winds or overnight temperatures of 404°C.
“It is being looked at and hopefully sorted asap.”
BBC Weather shared: “You may have noticed some data issues on our app and website. We are working hard to fix it quickly. Sorry – please bear with us.
“In the meantime here are Thursday’s weather headlines: -Colder, clearer air moving in -Rain and drizzle in south -Blustery showers near east coast”
And national treasure Carol Kirkwood said live on air: “We are having a technical glitch at the moment. It’s showing wind speeds far too fast, in fact, hurricane strength and that is not the case at all.
“Please don’t be alarmed. We are aware of it and on it.”
At the time of writing, the BBC Weather forecast service is still predicting hurricane force winds for the UK. Eek.

Liam Gallagher says Oasis reunion rehearsals have begun after blatant hints at tour support acts
Danny Jones
Liam Gallagher has confirmed that rehearsals for the Oasis reunion are now underway and has been teasing the acts that could be supporting them on the tour.
The incomparable frontman has been very vocal on social media (more so than usual) ever since the talk of their comeback was actually confirmed to be real, though we’ll admit we’re still having to pinch ourselves every few days.
Nevertheless, the Oasis reunion IS happening, the tickets have gone and even a slate of North American dates have now sold out along with an Australian tour set to do exactly the same – though there has been some furore over price differences.
Although the gigs are still a little ways away, practice for summer 2025 has to start sometime and after a fan asked Gallagher a point-blank question online, he had a simple but exciting answer.
The idea of the two actually being back in the same room still feels so surreal but we’re SO glad they are.
After the pair were first snapped posing for the reunion press shots by photographer Simon Emmett, it sounds like the two are not just in each other company but now practising those songs they first played together some 20-30 years ago.
The Britpop icons and legendary rock band also announced a new special collection of the seven-inch Definitely Maybe single pressings to celebrate the 30th anniversary of ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’; there are only 4000 up for grabs and they come in the actual 1996 cigarette-style CD (vinyl) box.
After rehearsals are all said and done, one thing that we still don’t know for sure is who will be supporting Oasis on their reunion tour, but that hasn’t stopped the 52-year-old from having fun with some rather heavy hints.
We don’t know how blatant or serious any of these names are, or if this is just a clever red herring or two, but let’s just say we’d be happy with any of them.
Liam is very much enjoying the usual wind-up and toying with Oasis fans.
As well as Manic Street Preachers and Cast – the lattermost having already supported Liam on his Definitely Maybe anniversary tour – there seems to be a lot of debate around whether a potential Richard Ashcroft support would include the rest of The Verve, who haven’t played together since 2017.
That being said, Blossoms have been heavily linked with the tour since they were the band to break the first reunion teaser at their massive Wythenshawe Park gig; there have also been rumblings of Kasabian, The K’s, New Order, Gene Gallagher’s band Villanelle and many more.
Again, we’ve got nothing concrete yet so you’ll just have to take LG at his word – just do so with a big fistful of salt.
Right, we’ll give you three support slots: who would be your dream warm-up acts for the Oasis reunion?
