Chris Stassy brings his acclaimed USS event concept to Aviva Studios.

Designed as a space where music takes precedence, USS strips the club experience back to its essentials: long, unhurried sets, low lighting and an uncompromising focus on the dancefloor. Guided by Chris's refined, groove-led selections; the night will unfold with patience, allowing the music to breathe. No phones, no spectacle, no unnecessary distractions. Just a shared connection between the DJ, the sound system and the people in the room.

Why Aviva for USS?

Every venue tells a different story.

USS isn't a touring concept that simply drops into a room. Every edition is shaped by the space it occupies.

For Manchester, there wasn't another venue that made more sense.

Aviva Studios isn't a derelict warehouse, an arena or a concert hall. It's a purpose-built home for music, art and culture, designed to give artists complete freedom to rethink how people experience a room.

The production isn't built around a stage.

It's built around the audience.

Every element has been considered, from the sound and lighting to how people move through the space.

USS has never been about chasing moments for social media.

It's about connecting with the music. The room. The sound. The light. The atmosphere. The people around you.

It's about creating an environment where the music becomes the focus again.

For one weekend, Manchester gets to experience that for the very first time.
