Marking the start of the Autumn/Winter season, Sankeys Manchester returns to its new Sidney Street home on Saturday 26th September, unveiling a series of carefully considered internal enhancements and a refreshed venue layout. The season opens with a powerful lineup featuring Low Steppa, Pirate Copy, and Mike Morrisey B2B Luca606.

This year is the first time Sankeys has had a permanent Manchester base since its celebrated Ancoats venue closed in 2017, and its absence has been felt ever since. The new Sidney Street space has been refined and revitalised to bring back that same stripped-back, music-first approach that made Sankeys legendary in the first place, ensuring the club's foundational ethos remains at the heart of its enhanced environment.

The club operates as an intimate 500-capacity space, with new air conditioning added throughout and a brand new, clandestine Room 2. Carved out of the former green room, this secret space is designed for clubbers to discover; an intimate room built for raw, close-up sets. Moving their artist dressing rooms upstairs has freed up further space on the club floor, while the new room gives Sankeys extra scope to programme across different sounds without pulling focus from the main space. The celebrated LED matrix installation returns alongside the no-VIP, no-phones dancefloor policy that's always set Sankeys apart.

Musically, Sankeys returns to the house-led, underground energy that defined its legacy. In keeping with its music-first ethos, the club avoids the trend of headliner-chasing to ensure the dancefloor experience remains the absolute priority. By keeping special guests and residents unannounced until each week, Sankeys maintains a focus on the shared experience and the unique community spirit that keeps the venue at the forefront of the underground scene.

It all kicks off with regulars Low Steppa, Pirate Copy and Mike Morrisey B2B Luca606, with artists like Arapu, George Smeddles, Paisley Jensen, Richy Ahmed, Darius Syrossian, Miguel Campbell, Jaden Thompson, Seb Zito B2B Rossko, Grant Nelson and Priku playing between now and mid-December with more special guests to be announced.

GALACTICA CLOSES FIRST IBIZA SEASON AT EDEN WITH FANTASM, KARAH, SANTØS B2B GIANNI DI BERNARDO AND PARSA JAFARI

Cocoricò's weekly hard techno residency ends its debut San Antonio run on Tuesday 15th September

GALACTICA closes its first Ibiza season at Eden on Tuesday 15th September. Fantasm, KARAH, SANTØS b2b Gianni Di Bernardo and Parsa Jafari take the Main Room for the final night of the Cocoricò residency, which launched in San Antonio back in May.

Fantasm leads the bill. Born in Los Angeles and now based in Lyon, built on heavy industrial kicks and dark, cinematic production. KARAH joins from Rotterdam, where he runs Falsive Records, the label he founded in 2019 and has since seen music released from artists including Charlie Sparks and Oguz.

SANTØS pairs with Gianni Di Bernardo for a back-to-back. The Dutch producer works the industrial end of the sound; Di Bernardo, born in Naples and a regular across Cocoricò's Galactica programming, opened the Ibiza season on 26th May and returns to close it. Parsa Jafari completes the lineup. Born in Tehran and raised in Madrid, he has held a residency at Fabrik Madrid since 2018 and has spent the years since on Spain's biggest techno floors.

The season gave hard techno its first dedicated weekly slot on the island, running every Tuesday through the summer with 999999999, Angerfist, Reinier Zonneveld, Clara Cuvé, Charlie Sparks, Alignment and Andres Campo among those who performed.

JOSEPH CAPRIATI MARKS 20 YEARS ON TOUR WITH AN EXCLUSIVE ANNIVERSARY EVENT IN HIS HOME CITY OF NAPLES

The only event worldwide celebrating this milestone takes place at Ex Base Nato on 27th September 2026 with Honey Dijon, Chris Stassy, Josh Baker and Quest also playing.

Joseph Capriati will mark 20 years as a globally touring DJ with a landmark anniversary celebration in Naples, the city where it all began, on Saturday 27th September 2026. The event at Ex Base Nato runs from 2 pm to midnight and is the only event worldwide at which Capriati is celebrating this milestone.

The lineup assembled for the occasion reflects Capriati's stature in the scene as well as his personal taste. Honey Dijon, one of the most culturally significant and musically versatile DJs in the game, joins the bill alongside Chris Stassy, whose refined, groove-driven house and techno has made him one of the most in-demand names on the current circuit. Josh Baker and Quest complete a lineup that spans the full breadth of underground house. 

Capriati's story begins in Naples and the city has remained central to his identity throughout a career that has taken him to over 70 countries across six continents. He helped define the Neapolitan scene coming up and has spent two decades evolving without ever standing still while moving between minimal, house and techno both in the booth and in the studio. His releases on CLR, Drumcode, Kompakt, Nervous Records and his own Redimension Music and Metamorfosi Records imprints have earned him recognition as one of electronic music's most complete artists, acknowledged with multiple DJ Awards titles including Techno Master and Tech House and Vicious Magazine's Best International DJ award.

Ex Base Nato is a former NATO military base on Viale della Liberazione in Naples and provides a fitting and historically resonant setting for this unmissable celebration.
