An accessible rave for disabled music lovers to party is heading to Manchester this weekend. 

Created by 25-year old Joe Skinner, a passionate music fan with cerebral palsy, United By The Groove aims to give people of all disabilities a chance to enjoy their favourite music at revered Cheetham Hill rave cave The Yard on Saturday 20th September. 

Running from 4pm to 10pm, the event will feature guest DJs Jake Smith, AJ Murphy, Finley Allen, and Matty Taylforth behind the decks, alongside three event brand takeovers, including Birmingham-based Compakt Events, Manchester label XtraTrax, and local crew Bakery Collective. 

Originating as a response to accessibility issues hindering disabled music fans from attending as many events as they’d like, United By The Groove pledges to change the clubbing landscape for the better and bring more accessible and inclusive spaces to the events and venues they love most.
