The Warehouse Project 2008 July 24th, 2008 Just as it was three years ago when we opened those gates to Boddingtons, The Warehouse Project remains a big experiment. One that continues to evolve quite naturally… We never really know exactly how its going to turn out and there is nothing that has gone before that does it quite like this. For sure, its going to be another crazy three months in Manchester, with over 60,000 people flocking from around the country to attend these parties. Season 3 of The Warehouse Project sees us return to Store Street for the final time. With plans for a new hotel and apartment block next door to the site, we will be unable to use this space in 2009. Who knows where the next part of the story will take us… we’ve come to realise that in a way we just need to put it in the hands of fate. Over the page the parties are revealed. The programme for this years series is, we think, the best yet. Its has been gradually pieced together since last October. This year there will be a second more intimate room of music, which has allowed us to go even deeper with the line-ups, putting on some really underground breaking talent in addition to the huge main room action you are used to. The preparation for the annual series has become a genuine labour of love for all involved - now everything is set its time to get moving… Welcome to The Warehouse. “For twelve weeks this city is ours…” Dates: 26 September 2008 - 01 January 2009 Further information available on event website.
