Head to Depot Mayfield for the penultimate dance of WHP21, headlined by Fatboy Slim, Annie Mac and Big Miz.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Manchester’s revellers have shown some big love for The Warehouse Project’s first season back since the pandemic. Kicking off with Megan Thee Stallion back in September, and taking in Four Tet, Bicep and Chic along the way, we’re now en route to the final destination of the New Years Eve and New Years Day parties.

Ring in the new year in euphoric style with Fatboy Slim, Annie Mac and Big Miz – the big-hitters on the packed NYE line-up. A little earlier on, you can catch seratonin-tickling sets by Yousef, Redlight, Lowsteppa, My Nu Leng, and Ammara, with longstanding Warehouse Project resident Krysko and Hit & Run boss Rich Reason among the local talent involved.

And it’s always nice to see some fresh meat on these line-ups; Bristol emergent Dark Arts Club plays his debut at WHP, along with rising Southhampton tech house star Biscits, and DJ-vocalist Sarah Story.

New Year’s Eve parties don’t get any bigger than this one.
