Their legendary in house night The Redlight will also return for a Bank Holiday weekend special with Felix Da Housecat
Sankey’s Manchester has been granted a new 6am licence, marking another major milestone in the club’s celebrated history. The club has been back in action for a month now, with an announced season of established and rising names plus special guests still to come.
The newly granted 6am licence restores the late-night freedom that once defined Sankey’s, allowing the venue to again deliver an extended club journey that Manchester’s underground scene has long been craving.
This news coincides with the return of Sankey’s seminal in-house brand, The Redlight, set to take place on Saturday 24th May across the Bank Holiday weekend. The move underlines the Sidney Street venue’s strong intent as it continues rebuilding one of the UK’s most influential underground institutions.
Famously rooted in the original Sankeys Soap era throughout the 2000s and beyond, The Redlight was always dedicated to the club’s house and garage-focused programming and became synonymous with raw, sweat-soaked underground energy. The May Bank Holiday edition sees Felix Da Housecat headline under The Redlight banner, with OG Sankey’s residents Krysko and Bucky in support and firmly anchoring the night in the club’s heritage.
The new 500-capacity space features the same stripped-back, immersive atmosphere that defined the original Sankeys experience with an LED matrix installation and a no-VIP, no-phones dancefloor policy. Meanwhile, weekly Saturday events with unannounced headliners are now well underway with names like Heidi, Maya Jane Coles, Solardo, Stacey Pullen, Steve Lawler, Magda, Nick Curly, Oxia and more set to take over the decks.
With extended hours now in place and a legendary brand back on the calendar, the DNA of the original club is unmistakably back, reinstating Sankey’s as the beating heart of Manchester nightlife.
