Repercussion Festival
Johnny James, Managing Editor
Marking the official start of The Warehouse Project season, Repercussion returns on Saturday 16 September for its third edition, hosting Bicep, Moderat and Jon Hopkins, to name just a few.
Taking over the full expanse of Depot Mayfield, this colossal day and night party covers eight stages, celebrating dance music in all its forms. As well as spilling out onto Temperance Street and into the Star & Garter, this year Repercussion also extends across the deserted train lines that sit upon the rooftop of the Depot, with two brand new spaces being brought to life: a rooftop takeover celebrating 25 years of Rush Hour, and a cinema specially programmed by i-D magazine.
As for the musical highlights, Bicep are debuting their brand-new Chroma (AV/DJ Set) show, Moderat are returning to Manchester for their first live show here in nearly a decade, and Kerri Chandler brings his super rare Reel-To-Reel set-up to the city for the very first time.
Jon Hopkins, master of the recital-turned-rave, is also high on our list, alongside Biig Piig, whose whispery, confessional pop conceals R&B, hip hop, dance and stripped-back soul elements beneath a darkly dreamy sheen. Joy Orbison, Bradley Zero and DJ BORING are all worth a shout, too. All will be playing between 3pm and 4am.
Check out the full line-up, with stage splits, below.
