The Warehouse Project is a renowned nightclub series based in Manchester, United Kingdom, that has played a pivotal role in the city’s vibrant nightlife and electronic music scene since its inception. Established in 2006, the project was originally conceived as a temporary run of events taking place in unique, pop-up venues, primarily old warehouses, reflecting Manchester’s industrial heritage. The original venue was the disused Boddingtons Brewery, which set the tone for future locations by embracing raw, warehouse atmospheres that complemented the underground spirit of the music showcased.

Over time, The Warehouse Project relocated multiple times, moving to the underground car park of Piccadilly Station, known as Store Street, which became one of its most iconic homes. After a brief closure in 2011 signaling a supposed final season at Store Street, the brand returned, hosting events in larger venues such as the Victoria Warehouse and later the impressive Mayfield Depot—a sprawling former railway station with capacity for up to 10,000 attendees. This new location cemented the project's reputation for transforming unconventional spaces into temporary temples of music and culture.

The Warehouse Project enjoys an exceptional reputation for curating lineups that blend cutting-edge electronic, dance, house, techno, drum and bass, and hip-hop acts with underground legends and local talent. Its events run seasonally, primarily from September to New Year’s Day, with each year’s program eagerly anticipated for surprise collaborations and exclusive back-to-back sets. Culturally, The Warehouse Project symbolizes Manchester’s ongoing legacy as a nucleus of musical innovation, following in the footsteps of legendary venues like The Haçienda.

It’s credited with helping rejuvenate parts of the city and introducing new audiences to electronic music. The series is not just a club night but a cultural phenomenon, attracting fans from across the UK and beyond. Notable artists who have performed at The Warehouse Project include international stars such as Aphex Twin, The Chemical Brothers, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Four Tet, Nina Kraviz, Annie Mac, Fatboy Slim, Jamie xx, and Major Lazer.

The venue has also been a platform for up-and-coming and established UK artists including Skepta, Bicep, Disclosure, Joy Orbison, Goldie, Chase & Status, Andy C, and Peggy Gou, as well as Manchester’s own talents like Chimpo and Krysko. Its diverse bookings reflect not only the pulse of global club culture but also the continuing evolution of the UK’s underground music scene.
