Plantroom is a contemporary nightclub located in Manchester, United Kingdom, that has quickly become a significant fixture in the city’s vibrant nightlife and electronic music scene. Established in late 2022, Plantroom occupies a repurposed industrial warehouse in Manchester’s burgeoning New Islington area, reflecting the city’s ongoing trend of transforming old industrial sites into creative cultural spaces. Since its inception, Plantroom has been recognized for its forward-thinking curation of events, immersive audiovisual experiences, and a dedication to both sustainability and inclusivity.

The venue has garnered a reputation for its attention to sound quality, boasting a state-of-the-art sound system, and for putting an emphasis on environmentally conscious practices, including innovative energy-saving initiatives and a focus on minimal waste. Culturally, Plantroom has carved out a place for itself as a hub for underground electronic music, spotlighting both international icons and local talent. Its opening marked a new wave of independently owned venues contributing to the evolution of Manchester’s club scene, standing out for its openness to experimental genres and collaborations with other creative communities—from art and design to fashion.

Despite being a relatively recent addition, Plantroom’s influence has been rapidly growing, drawing crowds not only from across the UK but also from mainland Europe. The venue has remained in its original location since opening but has undergone interior refurbishments to expand dancefloor capacity and further enhance acoustic treatments, all while maintaining the industrial aesthetic that has become its signature. As a result, Plantroom is often regarded as a symbol of next-generation clubbing in the UK, blending Manchester’s industrial heritage with a distinctively modern vision.

Notable artists who have performed at Plantroom include international electronic music acts such as Peggy Gou, DJ Koze, and HAAi, alongside local Manchester talent like Willow, Anz, and Finn. The club has also hosted appearances by Ben UFO, Shanti Celeste, Josey Rebelle, Paranoid London, Call Super, and genre-bending collectives such as Meat Free and High Hoops, cementing its status as a go-to destination for discerning clubbers and music aficionados alike.
