The Warehouse Project to introduce “no phones” policy for WHP25 season

The Warehouse Project will adopt a "no phones policy" for its new 2025/26 season. 

The Manchester-based club series will ban dancefloor photography at its Concourse-only shows starting with its season opener in September, which will see Annie Mac bring her Before Midnight party to Depot Mayfield. 

WHP says it hopes the policy encourages audiences to adopt a "less filming, more feeling" attitude at its Concourse shows, promising to share photos and film assets with the crowd at the end of each party.

“We want to take the clubbing experience back to its core, which is being in a room with like-minded people feeling connected through music," says The Warehouse Project founder, Sam Kandel.

"We also want people to have a piece of the night to remember it by and share with friends, which is why we are sharing our amazing content with everyone at the end of the evening,” he continues. 

Several new shows have also been announced as part of the upcoming WHP25 season, including a party curated by FISHER on September 20, Dom Dolla on October 10, and Confidence Man on October 24. 

Overmono will bring a huge line-up to Manchester on October 18, including a WHP debut from ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, as well as sets from Joy Orbison, Blawan, Skee Mask, Helena Hauff and Mechatok.

Sports Banger will take over Depot Mayfield for WHP Halloween on October 31, while Daddy Trance himself - AKA Marlon Hoffstadt - will lead proceedings for The Warehouse Project's "Party of the Year" on November 1.
