The highly anticipated season announcement from The Warehouse Project has landed ahead of their return to Depot Mayfield, Manchester this Autumn. Following the release of initial shows including Barry Can’t Swim, Annie Mac’s Before Midnight, YOU&ME, Sammy Virji, Fisher and more, the club series has revealed their full programme for 2025.
WHP25 will also see changes to the venue and customer experiences, including a ‘no phones’ policy in the Concourse, one of Depot Mayfield’s more intimate and high-energy spaces, alongside a new entrance and upgraded toilets which was shared with subscribers to WHP’s mailing list and Instagram Broadcast channel this week.
This year, the WHP25 calendar features several Concourse Only shows. As part of a growing movement towards deeper audience connection, shows held exclusively in the Concourse will fully adopt a ‘no phones’ policy, encouraging fans to stay in the moment, immerse themselves in the music, and connect with those around them and the artists, without the filter of a screen.
The Warehouse Project is inviting audiences to be part of a shared cultural shift. The goal is simple: less filming, more feeling. In an era where live moments are too often viewed through a camera lens, WHP25 aims to create space for something more immediate, raw, and honest — a more mindful rave. The team at The Warehouse Project will share photos and film assets at the end of the night, which is believed to be a venue-first initiative.
Beyond the dancefloor, WHP25 also brings major upgrades to the iconic Depot Mayfield. Brand new built-in toilet facilities across the venue for a smoother and more comfortable night out, improved entrances to help reduce queuing and enhance flow throughout the venue, and upgraded viewing platforms for VIP ticketholders. These enhancements mark a continued evolution of the experience and the ethos behind one of the UK’s most important clubbing institutions.
Sam Kandel, Founder of The Warehouse Project, said: “We want to take the clubbing experience back to its core, which is being in a room with like-minded people feeling connected through music. We also want people to have a piece of the night to remember it by and share with friends, which is why we are sharing our amazing content with everyone at the end of the evening.”
