Race is on for Warehouse Project tickets as Store Street return line-up revealed

Manchester’s largest dance music extravaganza is back in its traditional city centre location with a bigger line-up than ever – and the race is on to snap up tickets.

The Warehouse Project (WHP) will be back at its original home of Store Street, the iconic party spot in the centre of town will be awash with ravers of all flavours in less than three months’ time.

Around the country, thousands are frantically refreshing, calling, buying, begging, borrowing and stealing in order to get their hands on the precious tickets for the country’s biggest and bassiest musical events.

Dance heavyweights like Fat Boy Slim, Annie Mac and Chemical Brothers are just a handful of stellar acts on board for this year’s festivities.

Store Street is the home of Warehouse Project, its birthplace and true city centre home.

Over the last two years, the WHP has laid its hat at the vast, Victoria warehouse venue in Old Trafford – but organisers have been overwhelmed with homesickness and it seems they are back for good.

The drawback of having a season of music events at the venue is the fact that there are now less than half the number of tickets available compared to the last few years.

Competition to snap up the tickets is fierce and sell-outs over the next few days, if not hours, seem likely.

Opening night looks like a stonker on September 17, with Seth Troxler, Jackmaster and Ben UFO & Pearson Sound tearing up the floor, swiftly followed on Friday October 3 by trance gods Above and Beyond, Guy J Lane 8.

The Sounds of the Near Future, which will host Hudson Mohawk, Kaytranada, and Kyrstal Klear will definitely be a favourite for those who like their shape-shifting trippy beats and garage-inspired vocals. 

Another superb night will take place on December  12 , curated by Jamie XX with Jon Hopkins, Modeselektor, Greg Lord and John Talabot joining them on the bill, throwing out some world-class electronic music.

These are just a small selection of quality shows and deciding between line-ups for some will be more difficult than ever.

Twitter has already been set alight by people raving about the latest line-ups and the triumphant return Store Street location return, much to the delight, (if not surprise) of Warehouse Project king and organiser Sasha Lord.
