Twenty years after Public Enemy played the opening night at Boddingtons Brewery, The Warehouse Project returns to Depot Mayfield for what promises to be its most ambitious season to date. WHP26 runs from 18 September through to January, and the lineup confirms the series still has the pull few UK club brands can match.
Dutch trance, techno and acid DJ KI/KI opens proceedings on Friday 18 September, with Keinemusik duo Rampa and &ME taking the following night. Solomun follows on 25 September for his first Manchester headline show in five years and his only remaining UK date of 2026. Overmono headline their Pure Devotion takeover on 30 October, bringing James Blake b2b Joy Orbison, Moodymann, Blawan, Helena Hauff b2b DJ Bone and Aurora Halal across a multi-room programme that also features Blackhaine and Rainy Miller. Tiësto makes his first Manchester appearance in 13 years on 11 December. Elsewhere, the season’s only drum and bass night, Worried About Henry on 9 October, is headlined by Andy C’s ALiVe show alongside Bou b2b Hedex, Hybrid Minds, Kings of the Rollers and Sigma. Several events including Tiësto, Duke Dumont and Interplanetary Criminal are already sold out, with Solomun and Overmono down to their last tickets.
New for this season is Vault, a fourth room joining Depot, Concourse and Archive, expanding the venue’s footprint for the milestone year. Tickets are priced from around £30 to £70 depending on the event, with tier pricing meaning early buyers get the best deal. Depot Mayfield sits a two-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly station, making it straightforward to reach by train, tram or bus.
