Looking for a big old blowout on New Year’s Eve? It doesn’t get much bigger than The Warehouse Project, which will round off 2024 with a knockout party curated in collaboration with Defected, Glitterbox and Melé’s Club Bad.

The Warehouse Project has had a great season, having thrown dozens of parties soundtracked by the likes of Overmono, Bicep and Four Tet. We’re now coming up to the end of the series, and there are big plans in the work for the New Year’s Eve session.
