Back in 2013, Manchester International Festival worked with Albert Hall's new owners to restore and revive this truly spectacular space for performances by, among others, Goldfrapp, Mogwai and Maxine Peake. Thank the musical gods they did. The main space is astonishing. Almost a decade on it has become a firm favourite of the Manchester live music scene, the venue itself being one of the best support acts ever.
If you're already excited about the thought of August Bank Holiday weekend, things just got a whole lot more interesting.
Iconic club night The Warehouse Project is back with a concert to herald its season of events for this year, WHP22.
And it's kicking off in grand style, returning to Depot Mayfield with a live performance from Bonobo alongside Dan Snaith’s Caribou, ensuring that the August Bank Holiday is going to be something really special.
Few venues in Manchester reach the awe-inspiring heights of Depot Mayfield, the once-abandoned warehouse next to Piccadilly Station. The building has hosted some legendary performances, huge immersive theatre shows, exhibitions and even contemporary dance. But perhaps the venue is best suited to massive – and we mean MASSIVE – club nights, courtesy of The Warehouse Project.
Look out for more announcements on Time Out Manchester about WHP22's programme and line-up very soon.
