Just had an e-mail flyer informing me of a new club venture in Manchester, The Warehouse Project.

The Warehouse Project will run from Friday 6th October to December 31st 2006, with around 25 licensed events on Fridays, Saturday and the occasional Sunday/Midweek event. The venue is the converted Boddingtons Brewery building, located at the end of Deansgate next to the MEN arena, and the party is expected to start running in October 2006.

They say: “The Warehouse Project presents around 30 concerts and unique music based events each bringing a vast array of DJs and live acts to Manchester. A real melting pot of the world’s most innovative and important artists and performers; The aim is to create a truly original enviroment where we can party and watch something special unfold.”

The whole Warehouse Project looks interesting, although we’re not sure what the building looks like inside after the renovation work. One thing is for certain, it won’t look that much like a brewery as the heavy duty machinery was sold back in April.

A website has sprung up with a list of future guests, which is listed below. We’ve found expected dates for some of the artists, and they’re listed below in our DJ Listings section.
The full line-ups are to be released on the 8th of August with the first weekend line-ups appearing the week before.
