Just when you thought they had retired from the limelight; Pina Colada in hand, lounging on the beach with Milky Joe, The Mighty Boosh takes over Sankeys, offering a night of a night of subversive sounds provided by some of best outfits around. All you have to do is get into your finest Boosh garb; be it the big haired styling of Vince Noir? Or perhaps the subtle delights of the Howard Moon look? Do you have a mangina? It doesn’t matter, as long as you’re feeling the Boosh in your blood you’re bound to have a wild night, and dressing ups worth the effort as we have incredible prizes up for grabs for the best costumes.

On the bill we’ve got Filthy Dukes, currently residents at Fabric as well as supporting the likes of Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, Soulwax, 2 Many djs and playing along side Justice & Simian Mobile Disco. They’ve done us a huge favour by finding time in their schedule to come over when you consider that they also run Adventures in The Beetroot Field who this summer are hosting tents at Glastonbury & Bestival.

Next up Nightmoves, currently playing all over the world after shooting to infamy with their remix of Klaxons ‘Gravitys Rainbow’  (voted 14th best remix of the year somewhere) they’ve supported the likes of SMD, The Whip and Erol Alkan and it wont be long before their topping bills rather than supporting them, not to be missed.

We’re also joined by Uncle Buck, recently Zane Lowe quoted them as “Spearheading the recent surge in Indie/Dance and Crossover,” who join us after been billed beside Justice, 2ManyDJs, Mylo, The Scratch Perverts, Mark Ronson, Kavinsky, Sebastian and DJ Medhi.

Autokratz are joining us as well after rocketing to success. They started in a shed in east London, and a few months later a demo found its way into the hands of Parisian label Kitsune, featuring the likes of Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco and Hot Chip. Their sound embodies the attitude and style of Kitsune whilst remaining distinctive and innovative, a combination which indicates that this could be something special.

With more guests to be announced and an exclusive Sankeys set from Rich Reason, Manchester’s biggest new D.J. Get your ticket and come with us on a journey through time and space and enter the world of the Mighty Boosh Masquerade Ball.
