Sankeys Closing Party, Monday May 6th, Manchester
House | Thursday 11th April 2013 | Osh
Sankeys in Manchester is closing its doors with an all day party on Monday May 6th, the end
of a real era in dance music culture which has run each weekend for over 7 years.
The iconic and legendary club which has always defied expectation, epitomised the spirit of
the underground and dared to go where others have feared to tread, is signing off for the
summer.
David Vincent explains, “I have decided to close Sankeys in Manchester indefinitely this
summer as I focus my attention on our third year in Ibiza. I want our Ibiza project to be the
best club in the world, just like what we have achieved previously in Manchester, as I get
the feeling this could be our summer. But I need my production and staff from Manchester
to come to Ibiza with me to achieve this goal and therefore both clubs cannot be open at
the same time. Who knows when we will be back in Manchester, or if we ever will be back,
or what comes next in this great city I love. I want this current chapter of the club’s history
to end with a spectacular party, so we are rounding off the May bank holiday with a huge
line-up. It’s an 12 hour marathon set from 1pm to 1am on Monday 6th, with a stellar cast
of names and the Sankeys Manchester residents, in the spirit of our epic 12-hour Tenaglia
sessions.”
The closing show features global techno legend and Rejected co-founder Joris Voorn,
Berlin’s Desolat queen tINI, London legend and Fuse founder Enzo Siragusa and Darius
Syrossian all in attendance. The club’s residents, Jozef K and Us & Them, play their final
sets too during this epic session, and finally Bones makes the trip over from Ibiza, one of
Sankeys’ residents there. Also there are two very special guests to be announced on the day
that Sankeys are keeping a closely guarded secret.
David concludes, “I have had some truly amazing memories in Manchester, many
brilliant highs including being recognised for contributing significant culture to the city of
Manchester at a national museum and also quite a few challenging lows, in a journey which
will continue around the world. We have made our name in Manchester as The World’s
Best Club in the DJ Mag Awards 2010, and the Sankeys spirit will live on there. I want to
say huge thanks all of the DJs, live acts, promoters and agents that I have worked with, and
all of the Sankeys staff who have helped shape the club during the last 13 years. And most
importantly, Sankeys simply wouldn’t exist without our loyal crowd who have made us what
we are today, and I want to say thanks to every one of you. Finally, all I can say right now
about what happens next is quite simply: watch this space.”
