The Retro x Timeless x Sanction event will occur on 26 December 2026 at Sankeys in Manchester. Headlined by Danny Rampling and Luvdup alongside Mark XTC and Paul Taylor, this house music performance is scheduled to start at 09:00 with tickets priced at £20.00.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF....
Mad when you think about it...
RETRO and SANCTION hosted what turned out to be the last ever party at the original Sankeys Ancoats.
Now we're back.
Back where we belong.
BACK AT SANKEYS.
And trust us... we've absolutely gone in on the lineup.
Headlining this Boxing Day madness are none other than DANNY RAMPLING and LUVDUP – proper pioneers who were smashing dancefloors when House Music was still being passed around on white labels and cassette tapes.
Alongside them we've got Manchester and Northern clubland heavyweights MARK XTC and PAUL TAYLOR, two names that have been packing dancefloors from the acid house days right through to now.
No nonsense.
No filler.
No TikTok DJs.
Just proper House Music from people who lived it.
The Main Room is all about Classic House, Old Skool bangers, piano anthems and hands-in-the-air moments, while SANCTION handles the underground business until the lights come on.
This isn't just another event.
This is a proper reunion.
A meeting place for the old faces, the new faces and everyone who's ever lost themselves on a dancefloor at 3am.
IT'S ALL COMING BACK.
Tickets dropped at 9am this morning and people have been piling in ever since >>> PRE-HEADLINE EARLY BIRDS ARE GETTING ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED.
When they're gone, they're gone.
