THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT October 6th – December 31st 2006 www.thewarehouseproject.com <http://www.thewarehouseproject.com> Manchester UK “For twelve weeks this city is ours” We can now reveal the venue and the majority of the night time line-ups for Manchester’s most ambitious music experience yet. Between Friday 6th October & Monday 1st January ‘The Warehouse Project’ will be taking over an incredible warehouse space in Manchester’s city centre for what will be a new twist to the festival and club/gig experience. Things are hotting up now as Manchester gets ready for 12 weeks of warehouse action. With the venue now revealed as The Old Brewery (formerly the Boddingtons Brewery) one of Manchester's most iconic landmarks, its time to start spreading the word. Everybody from Manchester knows this legendary site, with its towering chimney peering out over the city, where they made that legendary tonic for over 250 years. For three months we take a piece of the cities most cherished heritage and catapult it into the twenty first century. We couldn't possibly have asked for a more perfect backdrop for the first Warehouse Project. The site actually consists of two warehouses, One slightly larger than the other. The larger of the two was where they actually used to make the beer and was known as The Racking Hall, the other is the cold store where the kegs were stored. We have named this one The Box. Most events will feature both, however one or two special events, such as the eagerly anticipated 3 Chairs event, we felt a smaller more intimate vibe suited, so these will just take place in The Box. We will be releasing pictures of the venues online at thewarehouseproject.com over the next few days. The moment it all kicks off has now actually been brought forward by 24hrs so we can feature one of the most iconic bands of all time. The legendary Public Enemy will be the first to headline the stage in The Racking Hall. After this comes an onslaught of 25 events, each unique in terms of musical direction and each unmissable in its own right. We've tried to make the programme as eclectic as possible, with artists from all over the world heading up the party and with us only having these twelve weeks to play with we’ve gone all out to make it as special as it can be. There are still several musical giants from whom we are still awaiting final confirmation, and one or two that we have purposely held back for now. All additions to the line-up will be announced in the coming weeks. Its never been done quite like this before. Some people have been asking why its only going on for these three months. The truth is that it will be something that is here and then gone very quickly. While it lasts it will be truly amazing and nobody will even have the chance to get bored of it. Since the idea for the project was first revealed several months ago, the slogan has been ‘For twelve weeks this city is ours...’ Manchester is back. Now in October 2006 the Warehouse Project will help to inject some life back into The Old Brewery renowned for the ‘Cream of Manchester’ by inviting the cream of global dance music’s DJ, live acts and artists to stage a series of individually themed club and gig nights from October 6th to the end of the year.
