Due to some difficulties regarding licensing conditions, Mantra Warehouse has been forced to cancel a number of upcoming events whilst they work the issue out with Manchester Council.
Given the situation and after some serious thinking we have decided to move the End Of Year Riot to deep darkest Strangeways, 5 minutes from Victoria Station where the mighty Hidden nightspot will be our riot destination.
Another firm favourite of ours, described by many as one of the best ever Manchester venues and having seen 3 Homoelectric events there we can safely say it truly is a fantastic spot…underground and off piste with twists, turns & good people.
Whilst we’re disappointed that the party can’t go ahead at Mantra Warehouse, we feel this is the right decision and Hidden is the perfect place to unite the clans in a place what feels like the Roadhouse meets the Music Box with lashings of Legends!
Funnily enough it was our initial new venue choice but the lack of a 3rd room made it unsuitable…however we can reveal there IS now an amazing new 3rd room loft space which is being showcased for the very first time on December 27th! Luckily we have managed to keep our entire announced line-up minus our mystery guest, who we are working to bring back to Manchester next year…seek & ye shall find.
Wishing all the boys at Mantra all the best with their council difficulties and we hope they are back up and running soon.
Same beef, different gravy…a northern powerhouse in northern warehouse…
Keep the faith, stay free, music is life…Strangeways here we come
Get your tickets asap… this event will sell out… no phone calls or messages over Xmas…
**Please note that last entry at Hidden is 12am**
