So yeah… Easter. Four days off and what to do? Well, if you’re in the North West then you could do a lot worse than heading to the Victoria Baths in Manchester on Sunday (April 16) where The Warehouse Project will be joining forces with Boiler Room and Fac 51 The Hacienda for an acid house special.

Easter Sunday will see a recreation of Factory Records boss Tony Wilson’s ‘The Other Side Of Midnight’ (OSM) – an acid house pool party filmed at Manchester’s Victoria Baths and broadcast on TV back in 1988.

Joining The Warehouse Project are OSM artists: A Guy Called Gerald (Live) and Hacienda resident Jon Dasilva, acid house veteran Danny Rampling and newer generation rave pioneers Artwork and MNLTH (Live).

The pool party will run from 3pm-7pm on Sunday, April 16. You can request an invite here or you can watch the live stream on Boiler Room here

But before all that, The Warehouse Project and Boiler Room are taking over Gorilla for another celebration of all things acid on Saturday (April 15). Tyree Cooper will be spinning this Saturday, alongside live sets from Ceephax Acid Crew and Posthuman, plus burgeoning talent Steven Simpson completes the Saturday bill.

Remaining tickets are available here or you can tune into the live Boiler Room stream here.
