Low Steppa, Richy Ahmed, Darius Syrossian, Miguel Campbell, Grant Nelson, Priku and more head to Sankeys Manchester between September and December.
Sankeys Manchester has revealed its full Autumn/Winter programme, with 13 parties set to take over the club’s new Sidney Street home between September and December.
The season begins on Saturday 26th September with Low Steppa, Pirate Copy and Mike Morrisey B2B Luca606, kicking off a run that brings together house, tech house and underground selectors including Arapu, Richy Ahmed, Darius Syrossian, Miguel Campbell, Jaden Thompson, Seb Zito, Rossko, Grant Nelson and Priku.
It also arrives following a series of changes inside the venue as Sankeys continues to establish its latest Manchester chapter.
2026 marked the first time the club had secured a permanent home in the city since the closure of its celebrated Ancoats venue in 2017. Now operating from Sidney Street, the intimate 500-capacity club has undergone further internal work ahead of the new season.
Among the biggest additions is a new clandestine second room, created from the club’s former green room. Artist dressing rooms have been moved upstairs, freeing additional space while allowing Sankeys to introduce a smaller environment for more intimate sets and alternative programming.
New air conditioning has also been installed throughout the venue, while the club’s LED matrix installation returns for the coming season.
More importantly, some of the principles associated with Sankeys remain firmly intact.
There’ll be no VIP area and the no-phones dancefloor policy continues, with the club placing its focus firmly on the music and those actually inside the room.
That philosophy extends to the programming.
Rather than building every night solely around headline names, residents and additional special guests will be kept under wraps until the week of each event, adding an element of unpredictability to proceedings.
Following the opening party, Tribal Sessions returns on 3rd October with Romanian selector Arapu joined by Idriss D and Rebecca Gough.
George Smeddles and Paisley Jensen follow on 10th October before Richy Ahmed arrives on the 17th. Darius Syrossian heads up Moxy on 24th October, while Halloween sees Miguel Campbell alongside Pirate Copy and OD Muzique.
November brings Murphys Law, Guy Burns, Ruby Richards, Kellie Allen and Jaden Thompson amongst others before December opens with an extended B2B between Seb Zito and Rossko.
UK house veteran Grant Nelson takes control on 12th December alongside Danny Snowden and Larry Ababio, before Tribal Sessions closes the announced programme on 19th December with Priku, Idriss D and Rebecca Gough.
For a club whose Manchester story stretches back decades, the new season appears intent on looking forward without abandoning the qualities that built the Sankeys name in the first place: a dark room, a serious sound system, underground house music and as few distractions as possible.
