Manchester's biggest club export The Warehouse Project returns to the city in September for what will be its 7th season of club events. Taking over a cavernous industrial warehouse in Trafford, the event series sees the world's best DJs, club brands and electronic artists descend on Manchester for 12 magical weeks, to create some of the most impressive and unforgettable parties in the world.
Known for its eclectic line-ups, exclusive B2Bs, surprise sets and varied programming, The Warehouse Project has today announced their 2013 line-up, and as always, there's something for everyone - with Chic, Hot Chip, The Knife, Phoenix and Four Tet amongst the highlights.
Warehouse Project Director Sasha Lord (@SachaWHP) tweeted some advice to WHP fans and critics on Tuesday evening, ahead of the announcement. In a series of tweets he said (sic): "Firstly... remember its a "season", where we try to cater for most peoples tastes, not just your own. Secondly, DAFT PUNK will not be bloody playing!!! 3rd: If you wear sunglasses in a club and Gucci branding from head to tow, do NOT buy a ticket, you are wasting your time and you are a dick. Finally, I hope you like the announcement. I have a feeling its going to be our best @WHP_Mcr season yet!"
