Sankeys Manchester Reveals High-Octane Autumn/Winter Lineups Following Major Venue Upgrade

Sankeys Manchester has unveiled its full Autumn/Winter 2026 programming, backing up the run with a heavy-hitting roster of house and tech talent alongside a total internal transformation of its new Sidney Street home.

Marking the club’s first permanent footprint in the city since the heartbreaking loss of its legendary Ancoats venue back in 2017, the 500-capacity spot has spent the summer overhaul refining its layout. Peak-time dancefloor heat gets a fix via brand-new air conditioning throughout, while the artist dressing rooms have been shifted upstairs to carve out more floor space.

Crucially, Sankeys has converted its old backstage green room into a clandestine Room 2—a stripped-back, micro-space designed for raw, close-quarters sets. The club’s signature visual LED matrix is back in action, anchored by its strict, non-negotiable no-VIP and no-phones policy.

Musically, Sankeys is cutting through headliner-chasing culture by pairing announced bookings with unannounced weekly secret guests and residents.

The season launches on Saturday, September 26 with Low Steppa, Pirate Copy, and a B2B from Mike Morrisey and Luca606. Across the 13-week run, dancefloors will see headline dates from Richy Ahmed, Darius Syrossian under the Moxy banner, Miguel Campbell for Halloween, Jaden Thompson, 90s garage icon Grant Nelson, and Romanian selector Priku. Key highlights also include the return of the seminal Tribal Sessions nights and an extended session from Seb Zito B2B Rossko on December 5.
