SANKEYS ANNOUNCES FIRST WAVE OF ARTISTS AHEAD OF ITS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MANCHESTER RETURN

Heidi, Maya Jane Coles, Solardo, Stacey Pullen, Steve Lawler, Magda, Nick Curly, Oxia and more will play across February to June at the new venue on Sidney Street!

With excitement for its return near boiling point, the iconic Sankeys Manchester has revealed the first wave of artists set to perform at its new Sidney Street location throughout February to June 2026. The A–Z lineup marks the next chapter for the underground institution with more special guests and extra additions to be revealed in the coming months.

Now operating as an intimate 500-capacity venue in the heart of Manchester, Sankeys will continue where it left off, and that is championing fresh, forward thinking electronic music, legendary names and developing exciting emerging talent. Sankeys officially relaunches with its opening weekend on 30–31 January, followed by weekly Saturday events from 7th February, including the return of the legendary Tribal Sessions as a monthly residency. 

The lineups for Saturdays include a mouthwatering mix from across house, garage and tech with Felix Da Housecat, Maya Jane Coles, Solardo, Stacey Pullen, Steve Lawler, Magda, Nick Curly, Oxia, Josh Butler, Heidi, Lauren Lo Sung, Priku, Reboot, Robbie Doherty, Seb Zito, Tania Vulcano, Pirate Copy, Rossko, Kellie Allen, Cristina Lazic, Bontan, Boss Priester, Krysko, Luca606, OD Muzique, Rio Tashan, Ruby Richards, and many more all reflecting Sankeys’ long-standing commitment to showcasing a broad spectrum of styles.

The club’s return to Manchester marks its first permanent presence in the city since the closure of its celebrated Ancoats venue in 2017. Ever since then, there has been a Sankeys shaped hole in the Northern club scene, but not any more: the new space on Sidney Street has been designed to capture the stripped-back, immersive atmosphere that defined the famous Sankeys experience. With its iconic LED matrix installation and a no-VIP, no-phones dancefloor policy, Sankeys reaffirms its commitment to the raw, immersive club culture that made it legendary.

NOTRE DAME LAUNCHES PARANORMAL WEBSHOP WITH EXCLUSIVE “CANDY CLOUD” COLLECTIBLES FOLLOWING DEBUT BBC RADIO 1 ESSENTIAL MIX

The producer opens his online store featuring limited-edition art toys, vinyl, and merch following his sold-out label showcase at Gate Club and end-of-year Paris art gallery pop-up.

Notre Dame has officially launched the PARANORMAL webshop, making the exclusive collectibles from his Paris art gallery pop-up available online for the first time. The store features limited-edition "Candy Cloud" art toys, vinyl releases, custom apparel, and merchandise from the Le Marais pop-up that took place in November in his hometown of Paris.

SHOP NOW: PARANORMAL WEBSHOP

The webshop launch follows a major milestone for the Parisian artist: his debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, which aired on January 10th. Additionally, Notre Dame released his full DJ set from his first-ever and fully sold-out PARANORMAL label showcase in Paris, now streaming on his SoundCloud, offering his fans a first-hand and immersive look into the label's sonic identity. 

The "Candy Cloud" art toys – super limited-edition collectible figures featuring premium packaging and custom USB drives loaded with unreleased Notre Dame music – were originally available exclusively at the November pop-up event. The hand-crafted figures bring to life the protagonist from Notre Dame's anime-style music video created by French animator duo Le Megapack, doubling as a tangible piece of the immersive universe he's been building around his PARANORMAL label.​

​Since launching PARANORMAL in early 2025, Notre Dame has established the imprint as a creative ecosystem blending music, visual art, and design. The label's releases – including "Do For Your Love," "Haunted Nights," and "Candy Cloud" – have earned support from Keinemusik, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and Adriatique, while the November pop-up event brought the label's aesthetic to life through immersive installations, exclusive merchandise, and intimate performances.

Notre Dame continues 2026 with an extensive international tour schedule, including stops in Montreal, Miami, Milan, and Tomorrowland Winter. On the release front, he has remixes dropping for Max Styler's "You And Me" via Nu Moda, and WhoMadeWho & Tripolism's "Flying Away With You" via Cercle, followed by his collaboration with Bob Moses, "On My Mind," via Vancity/AWAL. Find his full upcoming tour schedule below. 

The PARANORMAL webshop is now live at https://paranormalsociety.music/.

Driven by the desire to channel the emotive power of music into his productions, Notre Dame brings a fresh and heartfelt approach to electronic music. The Parisian producer experienced a rapid rise to prominence following his breakthrough release "Yumi" on Solomun's Diynamic label, which became Pete Tong's Essential New Tune and launched his transition from corporate life to global stages. In 2025, he launched PARANORMAL, a creative space where music and art intertwine, with releases earning support from Keinemusik, Adriatique, and RÜFÜS DU SOL. His collaboration with Adriatique on Timbaland & Nelly Furtado's "Give It To Me" surpassed 5 million streams and became a festival anthem, while high-profile remixes for Röyksopp, Lenny Kravitz, and Blond:ish have showcased his versatility across the electronic music spectrum.

New school house favourite Appetite On The Farm is back bigger than ever at the gorgeous Kelvedon Hall in Brentwood, Essex. This much anticipated fifth edition is the most ambitious yet at the historic estate, with 20,000 people welcomed across several stages for one unforgettable August Bank Holiday weekend just 30 mins from London Liverpool Street Station. Sign up HERE for first access to tickets. 

A broad mix of names across house, tech and garage will serve up a fresh soundtrack across the whole site. The lineup features legends, edgy breakout stars and artists essential to the Appetite sound: hyped contemporary tastemakers Luke Dean, Locky, Jamback and Omar+ have topped charts with their tunes and are in demand across Europe. 

Elsewhere, Dr Banana brings his playful, garage-rooted selections and deep UK lineage, while Dyed Soundorom and Laidlaw deliver refined, minimal cuts. Kirollus continues to emerge as one of house music’s most exciting new voices, sitting comfortably alongside the hypnotic low end techno of Traumer and the emotive, left-of-centre sounds of Saoirse and Shanti Celeste. 

Chunky, groove-led selectors Jamie Jones, Sidney Charles and baseline whizz Silva Bumpa add high-energy while legendary US pioneer Todd Edwards brings timeless garage foundations. Elsewhere, Kolter and MJ Cole represent two generations of dance music innovation, with Eliza Rose, Skream, and Appetite founders Elliott Schooling & Liam Palmer reinforcing the festival’s high quality and future-facing sound.

There will be six stages in all, each with its own identity and well curated programming including The Barn, The Clearing, The Forest, The Jam & Doughnut, The Stables and The Record Store, all reflecting the brand’s musical roots and forward-facing approach.

Beyond the music, the event will once again host the Appetite Food Market and a tasty selection of street food and spaces designed for socialising and downtime. The overall experience is rooted in a strong sense of community with a mix of open-air dancing, immersive musical settings and a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere.

With ticket prices ranging from £40 to £120, Appetite On The Farm 2026 is an unmissable weekend that will continue the festival’s evolution while staying true to the community-led spirit that has defined it since day one.
