The Warehouse Project closing parties are set to take Store Street out with a bang

All good things must come to an end, and that includes Manchester’s musical phenom The Warehouse Project. But there is great news as Manchester’s iconic raving party has released the line-ups for their end of the season closing parties – and we could not be any happier with the announcements.  

Having entered the second half of its calendar this season, the series of club nights is an ode to music showcasing its ever-increasing calibre to attract the biggest artists from all over the world. And where The Warehouse Project can, they deliver the goods time and time again. 

Each year The Warehouse Project release their hugely anticipated season line-up while the closing parties between December 29th and New Year’s Day remain shrouded in line-up mystery. Arguably building excitement around who will be celebrating hauling in the new year, the announcement is more than welcomed by the Warehouse’s faithful following. 

And this year has been no different with an array of mammoth artists unveiled to take the city of Manchester into 2018 with a bang. Here to dissect each event, here is why you should be purchasing your tickets for the end of year parties.
