Manchester’s newest venue is set to open its doors this weekend. Unit 3, located on the city’s famed Northern Quarter, will celebrate its opening with a launch party tomorrow, Friday 26th September, featuring a set from Michael J. Blood. 

The new Northern Quarter haunt, nestled among the hustle and bustle of Thomas Street, has a busy schedule ahead, kicking off tomorrow with a launch party featuring local leftfield electronic artist Michael J. Blood, followed by a show on Saturday 27th with Lyster and Notte Infinita, and a packed schedule across the next three weekends. 

Founded by Andy Mac and Charlie Hayes, two veterans of Manchester’s nightlife scene, expect Unit3 to be another boundary-pushing venue for the city.
