The Warehouse Project
Manchester's rave scene is heading to Melbourne for a second year, this time with Partiboi69, Hector Oaks, X-Coast and more on the decks.
Overview
The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Fred again.., Skrillex and Happy Mondays have played it. De La Soul, Aphex Twin, Carl Cox and deadmau5, too. For dance-music fans, and just music fans in general, The Warehouse Project's fame extends far past its Manchester home. The event itself is now roaming further than Britain as well, including debuting in Australia in 2024 and returning in 2025.
Yes, Manchester's rave scene is heading Down Under again — and to Melbourne for the second year in a row. This time, Partiboi69, Hector Oaks, X-Coast, Miss Bashful, Carla Martinez are hitting the decks at PICA on Friday, April 25.
The Manchester institution first went international in 2023 in Rotterdam and Antwerp, before making the jump to Australia.
It was back in 2006 that The Warehouse Project first unleashed its club nights on its birthplace, kicking off in a disused brewery and then moving underneath Manchester's Piccadilly station, in a space that's also been an air-raid shelter — and also to a warehouse that dates back to the 1920s. Now, it calls former railway station Depot Mayfield home when it's on in its home city.
