Warehouse Project's Wicked Start to the 2023 Season



Pre-sale ticket sales will commence on Thursday, 25th May at 10am. General ticket sales will start on Friday, 26th May at 10am



The Warehouse Project is thrilled to announce the spectacular opening sequence for its highly anticipated 2023 season, returning to Mayfield Depot in Manchester.


Marking the official commencement of The Warehouse Project season, the renowned event, Repercussion, will make a triumphant return on Saturday, 16th September for its third edition. This groundbreaking day and night extravaganza will take over the entire expanse of Depot Mayfield, boasting a remarkable lineup across eight distinct stages. Among these stages, attendees can revel in the intimate ambiance of the Star & Garter pub and join the immense street party on Temperance Street. Adding to the excitement, Repercussion will extend its reach to the deserted train lines atop the Depot, unveiling two exciting new spaces—a rooftop takeover commemorating 25 years of Rush Hour and a specially curated cinema experience by i-D magazine.


Repercussion's expansive lineup promises to showcase dance music in all its glorious forms. Attendees will have the pleasure of witnessing the debut of Bicep's captivating Chroma (AV/DJ Set) show. Additionally, Moderat will grace Manchester with their first live performance in the city since 2016, while Kerri Chandler will captivate the audience with his super rare Reel-To-Reel set-up, making its Manchester premiere. Other highly anticipated artists include Jon Hopkins, TSHA (Live), Biig Piig, and many more (full lineup below).



The following week, on Saturday, 23rd September, The Warehouse Project presents a colossal Drum & Bass event in collaboration with Worry About Henry x Metropolis. This unprecedented showcase will unfold across the sprawling Mayfield complex, featuring over 100 artists from across the DnB spectrum. Attendees can expect mind-blowing sets from the likes of Hybrid Minds, Wilkinson, Hedex, Bou, and many more.


On Friday, 29th September, the long-standing electronic party crew Kaluki returns for a special birthday show and label showcase. The evening will be headlined by industry heavyweights such as Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, Hot Since 82, Solardo, Chris Stussy, and more, setting the stage for an unforgettable season opener.


As we embrace the enchanting Autumn season, Saturday, 30th September, welcomes the highly anticipated 'Welcome to the Warehouse' show, a six-stage takeover featuring an array of influential artists. This year's lineup includes the incredible talents of Honey Dijon, The Blessed Madonna, Mall Grab, Job Jobse, Sherelle, Saoirse, and many more (full lineup below).

Sam Kandel, Co-Founder of The Warehouse Project, shared his excitement, stating:


"Even before the conclusion of last year's WHP run, we were already working tirelessly on our plans for 2023. We can't contain our enthusiasm to return to Depot Mayfield, where we have prepared significant production enhancements for this year's events, all of which will be revealed when we kick off in September."


We here at Acid Rain have attended many times in the past and can be a testimonial to its magnificence. if you have never been before or are coming to Manchester then this is the year to give it a crack, with every night they host full to the brim with musical talent. From Drum & Bass to Techno, Disco to House, Warehouse Project has something for everyone.
