Tiësto Announces Massive Warehouse Project Debut in Manchester
After more than a decade away from Manchester, dance music icon Tiësto is officially making his return — and it’s happening in one of the UK’s most legendary underground rave environments.
The Dutch superstar has been confirmed for a huge headline performance at The Warehouse Project on December 11, 2026, marking both his long-awaited return to the city and his first-ever appearance at the famed event series. The show will take place at Depot Mayfield, the industrial venue that has become synonymous with massive late-night electronic music experiences in Manchester.
For longtime fans, the announcement feels especially significant. Tiësto hasn’t performed in Manchester in roughly 13 years, and the timing aligns perfectly with a major resurgence of his trance-inspired sound. Over the last several months, the producer has been teasing a return to the emotional melodies and euphoric energy that helped define his early career.
The Warehouse Project itself is celebrating its 20th season in 2026, and organizers appear to be going all-out with their bookings. Tiësto’s addition instantly becomes one of the biggest electronic music events on the calendar, especially for fans craving a blend of nostalgia and modern festival energy.
The event is scheduled to run from 9 PM until 3 AM, with final entry set for 10:30 PM. Tickets are expected to move quickly, with presale access beginning May 28 before general sale opens the following day.
Adding even more hype to the announcement, Tiësto recently previewed new trance material during his EDC Las Vegas set and hinted that a larger trance-focused project could be on the horizon. Fans are already speculating that his Manchester appearance may feature a deeper, more classic-inspired set than his recent festival performances.
Between the iconic venue, the milestone anniversary season, and Tiësto’s renewed connection to his trance roots, this show has all the ingredients to become one of the defining electronic music events of 2026.
