Jungle at Depot Mayfield – everything you need to know about Repercussion on WHP 2024 opening night
One of The Warehouse Project's best opening nights in years.
This year’s Warehouse Project programme finally kicks off this weekend with the UK’s contemporary disco icons Jungle headlining the Repercussion opening party.
You could hardly pick a better act to get the 2024 season underway than that, could you?
Only a few months after their incredible outdoor gig at Castlefield Bowl at this summer’s Sounds of the City festival, the conquering music collective is getting the WHP festivities underway as they top the billing of a frankly ridiculous Repercussion lineup.
From tickets and full event lineup to stage times and more, here’s all the important info ahead of what is going to be an absolutely massive night.
Are their tickets left for Jungle at Repercussion, Warehouse Project?
Yes, we can confirm there are still tickets left for Jungle and Repercussion at WHP 2024, with prices starting from £45 (not including booking costs).
Full-price tickets are now valued at £54.45 before handling fees or you can even spring for a VIP ticket from £82.50 each.
If you were hoping to book a hotel and ticket package to sleep off the raving in the morning, however, those passes have unfortunately sold out for this gig but can still be secured for future events.
This is strictly an 18+ event but if you’re still looking to hop on a ticket, you can grab yours HERE.
Support acts and full Repercussion 2024 lineup
But it isn’t just the brilliant Jungle that will be blowing people away on the opening weekend of Warehouse Project 2024 as it was pretty easy for a group this big to attract some of the most exciting names in the dance and electronic genre.
Other heavyweights playing on the night include the incredible Bonobo, the sensational Honey Dijon, as well as two personal top-picks of ours, rising star salute and cult favourite DJ Seinfeld – and that really just the tip of the iceberg…

Repercussion stage times and stage splits
Now, it’s a long old night but we can confirm that doors for Jungle at Depot Mayfield are from 4pm and last entry will be at 7:30pm – they’re always strict when it comes to this as well, so don’t get caught out by being late.
As for when and where this huge slate of acts will be playing, you can find the full list of stage times and stage splits for Repercussion at WHP 2024 down below:
Transport and how to get to Depot Mayfield
WHP moved its main hub from Victoria Warehouse to Depot Mayfield back in 2019 and it’s safe to say the world-renowned event is thriving in its new home.
Just an eight-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly or a 20-minute walk from Manchester Victoria Station, it’s super easy to get to on foot or via public transport.
You can catch a train or multiple tram lines from Victoria and various other points around the city centre which will drop you off at Manchester Piccadilly; better still, a tram journey will only set you back £1.90 and not much more for the train.
Taxis are also widely available across Manchester city centre starting from £5 upwards from Manchester Victoria to Depot Mayfield or £4 and above for a ride to the venue from Piccadilly.

Final things to bear in mind
There are multiple free drinking points inside as well as free cups of water behind the bar. Stay properly hydrated and you’ll be able to party well into the early hours.
Amnesty bins can be found on your way into the building. We urge everyone to stay safe and look after one another. Lastly, anyone wearing a football shirt will not be accepted into the venue.
Other than that, we hope you have an absolutely incredible time watching Jungle and the rest of the Repercussion lineup or, indeed, whichever of this year’s WHP events you’ve grabbed tickets for.

Beloved British boy band Five are BACK in FULL for the first time in 25 years
Danny Jones
No, your eyes don’t deceive you: all five members of the beloved British boy band Five are set to reunite for the first time in a quarter of a century.
Formed way back in 1997 and dominating the charts throughout the period in and around the millennium, the iconic pop group was the UK’s answer to the Backstreet Boys and NSNYC, as well as a much-needed replacement for Take That just after their split.
And they did exactly that for a number of years, with hit tracks like ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘Keep On Movin”, ‘Everybody Get Up’, ‘If Ya Gettin’ Down’ and more still firmly stuck in our memories.
It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, we still remember all the words and the dance moves to go along with them – and we’ll be able to prove it when the Five UK reunion tour comes to Manchester.
Although the London-formed group has reformed every now and again in different configurations over the years for special occasions, anniversary events, etc., this is the first time that the original lineup has been together for 25 whole years.
That’s right, Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon will all be reuniting on stage for a limited UK arena tour – because anything less simply wouldn’t be enough to mark this throwback celebration.
More importantly, if you don’t think every single one of these massive rooms is going to sell out in a flash, then you clearly can’t count to five.
As for the Manchester crowd, fans will be welcomed inside the equally legendary AO Arena for the ‘KEEP ON MOVIN’ 2025’ Tour later this year and we can’t wait.
Fellow domestic DJ and producer Naughty Boy will also be joining them as the main support act. We’re rolling back all the memories this autumn.
You can see the rest of the tour dates below, including equally massive shows at The O2 in London, the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, a First Direct Arena date in Leeds and more.
Scott says: “This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now – 25 years on and we’re so ready for it. Reconnecting as a 5 over the last year has been special and I know I speak for all the boys when I say we can’t wait to do this all over again. Hope you’re ready!”
Another fifth of the throwback boy band, Abz, added: “We really can’t wait to get back on stage together & see the fans, it’s gonna go OFF! Buzzing to have Naughty Boy on tour with us too… 5 bad boys and a naughty boy, that sounds like a lot of fun. Let’s gooooo!”
General admission for Five’s 2025 UK reunion tour goes live on Friday, 7 March from 10am but die-hards can access the exclusive pre-sale window on Wednesday, 5 March by signing up for the mailing list.
You can get ready to grab your tickets HERE.

2000s indie rock icons The Enemy continue comeback trail with must-not-miss UK tour
Danny Jones
For fans of old-school indie and noughties contemporary rock, you do not want to miss the one because The Enemy are not just back making music but they’re heading out on a pretty big UK tour and, of course, they’ll be stopping right here in Manchester.
The Enemy first reformed back in 2022 for a limited run of shows, but it turns out the Coventry-formed trio were satisfied with a one-off reunion and a fifth studio album officially being worked on, the fierce Brit rock throwbacks have announced a series of pretty large UK tour dates.
Following on from some hugely successful comeback performances at TRNSMT, Isle Of Wight and a headline slot at Godiva Festival 2023, not to mention the instantly hit ‘Indie Til I Die’ shows last year – including an absolute stormer at Victoria Warehouse – they returning for more.
If you saw the scenes at that most recent gig, you’ll know that skipping this one just isn’t an option.
One of the few bands to make their way back to the live music circuit fully intact, with all three members still performing together, nothing has changed other than a few more grey hairs.
If you weren’t there at the outset, The Enemy’s debut LP We’ll Live And Die In These Towns (2007) was one of the most seminal domestic releases of its time, with songs like ‘You’re Not Alone’ going on to become indie anthems of the era.
To be honest, we’d argue their sophomore outing Music For The People just two years later is the better album, with tracks such as ‘Be Somebody’, ‘Elephant Song’ and ‘No Time for Tears’ still in plenty of our playlists to this day – but, you know, each to their own.
The point is, we’re very glad these lads are back and having played with everyone from Oasis and The Killers to even The Rolling Stones, we’d wager lots of other music lovers are too.
Set to play New Century Hall in Manchester as well as the legendary Leadmill in Sheffield, Beckett Students’ Union in Leeds, Rock City in Nottingham and more, it’s going to be a big tour.
Frontman Tom Clarke, who has put out two solo records of his own in past years, said of the announcement: “We’ve been working long days in the studio recording new material, so we’re really excited to get out on the road again.
“The plan is to experiment with some of the new tunes, maybe different ones on different shows to see how the crowds react and which ones connect with fans, and let that guide the track listing on the record which is nearing completion.”
Co-songwriter and bass player, Andy Hopkins, added: talking about the upcoming tour: “My favourite part of being in a band is having those nights with the fans where the atmosphere is electric – I think this tour is going to be really special for the 3 of us.
“It’ll be the first time we’ve been back to some of these cities in a long time, in venues we absolutely love and have been really important to us on the way up – Electric Ballroom was the first venue we ever played in London supporting The Fratellis, I drove us there with all the amps & guitars in my Fiesta!”

The Enemy come to New Century, one of our favourite live music venues in all of Greater Manchester, on Saturday, 1 November.
Pre-sale has already been snapped up in the blink of an eye, which is no surprise whatsoever, but general admission will go live from 10am this Friday, 28 February.
