The Warehouse Project 2007
31st Aug 2006
After making a fundamentaly massive mark on Manchester with a series of shows at The Old Boddingtons Brewery (which last time we checked had dissapeared), the Warehouse Project are at it again. Last year saw 100,000 people flock to the city from all over the UK to attend what was widely considered to be one of the most ambitious live music projects undertaken for years. It was a huge risk and many believed that a city like Manchester simply couldn't sustain that number of massive events over only three months.
How wrong they were... The 30 events took the city by storm and for that period, Manchester was the only place to be. By the end of it all the WP crew were tired and very weary, but so incredibly pleased with the way things had turned out. The whole project had really been a massive experiment, and a huge risk but one that had been worthwhile.
Earlier this year, WHP hosted Beneath The Streets, a crazy little party with the same ethos as The Warehouse Project. A smaller, more intimate venue beneath Piccadilly Railway Station played host to 3 nights of music and madness.
As the Warehouse Projects Sam Kandel observes, after listening to the feedback from all those who attended Beneath The Streets, we realised we did really have to do The Warehouse Project 2007 in the Store Street venue. Its not as big as last year (1800 capacity), but the atmosphere and the sound over those three days was absolutely amazing. We were looking at a few different options for this year, but we feel that this is definitely the right decision. It feels quite surreal that this is all about to kick off again - we're not really sure if we're ready for it!

The lineups for this year are all nearly finalised, with Bacardi, Goodgreef, Cocoon, We Love..., Radio Soulwax, Radio One & lots more all on board.
