Migos, Megan Thee Stallion and Four Tet all headlining
Ravers of the world unite. The Warehouse Project has announced its full season this morning and it’s a bit of a corker. Expect an emotional return to the dancefloor with multiple donks lovingly put on it.
Returning to the cavernous Mayfield Depot behind Freight Island from 10 September to 1 January, this year’s Warehouse Project line-up sees a mix of dance royalty mainstays and exciting up-and-coming acts. Tickets go on general sale from 10am on Friday 9 July but get on them quick because if they’re anything like this year’s initial line-up announcements, they’ll be gone in minutes.

Major headliners that stand out include Megan The Stallion (10 September), Migos (11 September), Four Tet (9 October) and Jamie XX (12 November). But anyone who’s spent any amount of time in sweaty brick buildings staring at strobe lights will also appreciate the addition of multiple Skream sets (15 & 30 October) as well as Rudimental (15 October), Disclosure (23 October), Goldie (9 October) and Chase & Status (22 October).
Both Four Tet and Jamie XX will be curating nights bringing with them eclectic line-ups whilst earworm crafter Caribou (27 October) will also headline a night with special guests yet to be announced. Homegrown Manchester queer club night Homobloc also returns (6 November).
Our picks from the latest announcement are: Bad Boy Chiller Crew (3 December), the Bradford equivalent of People Just Do Nothing with catchier beats; Blawan (27 November), for a relentless industrial audio pounding; BICEP for that goosebumps moment when they play Glue (4 December); and Jon Hopkins (4 December), fresh from his soundtrack duties on Manchester International Festival’s All Of This Unreal Time.
In true Warehouse Project tradition, the line-ups for the New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day closing parties remain shrouded in mystery but you can always count on them to be huge.
For those who have registered, pre-sale tickets go on sale at 10am, Wednesday 7 July for 48 hours. The remaining general sale tickets go on sale at 10am, Friday 9 July.
