The Manchester version will probably be a bit more fun.

A huge festival known as the Warehouse Project is set to start in Manchester in October...and run for three months. Featuring everything from dance to indie, with both live and DJ sets from top bands including Kasabian, New Young Pony Club, Public Enemy, 2 Many DJs, De La Soul and Mystery Jets, the festival will be held at the Old Brewery in Strangeways, and run from October 6 to New Years Eve.

Depending on the size of the night, the festival will use the whole space or section off parts of it to run a variety of themed club nights to take in a variety of musical styles. More shows and acts are set to be added to the list, so keep an eye on the official site and read on for the current line-up.
