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.
