Tribal Sunday Sessions Laurent Garnier [Live + DJ Set] tickets and listings

Tribal Sunday Sessions - Laurent Garnier [Live & DJ Set]

Treats such as these come about few and far between. You can count on the fingers of one hand the truly seminal, epoch-shattering nights that have occurred, lodged in memory like some indelible sonic signature. Sankeys have brought to Manchester many of these legendary parties, where names are made, reputations embossed and a delirium descended across all those present. Tenaglia. Daft Punk. The Chemical Brothers. 2manydjs. And one more, stepping up to the hallowed Ancoats decks again, is Laurent Garnier, who stars at a special one-off Sunday session, already imbued with such reverence that many in the city have booked the following Monday off. This is a special one to savour.

What is there left to be said about the mercurial genius that is Monsieur Garnier? Bitten by the acid house bug in the mid eighties, Laurent hot-footed on a plane and got a job as a chef in the hallowed Hacienda, his desire that strong to be close to the music that was setting the fire in his heart alight. What followed was a path through to super-stardom, combining Gallic flair to the emotional outpourings of Chicago and Detroit music, and a very pronounced respect for every tune he came across, becoming arguably the greatest DJ ever in modern dance music history. Few can rock a club dextrously and eclectically as this man, yet Garnier sets the benchmark for what truly eclectic sets are made out of.

Sankeys own sonic stars, Greg Vickers and Mistress de Funk, help to set alight this special session. Each has become talismanic in Sankeys folklore, with Greg having helmed the club since the early days and there really is nobody better who understands the nuances of the fervent Sankeys faithful. For Mistress de Funk, she has quickly won a fierce following, augmented by a stint on Radio 1 and now a firm fixture at many of the UK’s leading clubs. 

Jozef K is the new Tribal Sessions resident and this rising young talent completes what is set to be another one of those rare nights – the type you cannot miss.
