Hacienda Classical gigs to mark 40th anniversary of club
FRESH from its Warehouse Project rave in Manchester at the weekend, Hacienda Classical has confirmed two huge gigs for 2022 – the 40th anniversary year of the iconic city centre superclub.
2022 marks four decades since FAC51 The Hacienda first flung open its doors back in 1982, transforming the run-down central Manchester yacht showroom into what has become one of the most iconic and influential nightclubs in history.
Celebrating 40 years of The Hacienda all across 2022, the first Hacienda Classical events to be announced include a return to Castlefield Bowl on Manchester Friday, July 8, for what has now become the annual homecoming party, sold out year on year and now taking place for a record six times.
The full Castlefield line-up will see Soul II Soul perform live, plus DJ Paulette, Peter Hook and Tom Wainwright perform DJ sets.
Hacienda Classical will also make a return to London’s Royal Albert Hall on Friday, May 13, 2022, the fifth time at the prestigious venue having sold out our previous four visits.
The Royal Albert Hall show sees Hacienda Classical joined by K Klass live and DJ Paulette.
The Hac, on Whitworth Street, chronicled the emergence of indie to the mid 80s and then redefined club culture as the scene adapted to the emerging dance music sounds of the UK and the US. Considered the UK’s cathedral of house music and then epicentre of the “Madchester” scene, The Hacienda continues to inspire generations new and old, producing world class events that remain true to the ethos and integrity that guided the original club. Tickets for both dates go on sale this Friday at Gigs and Tours.
