The NCP Manchester Central next to Bridgewater Hall car park is also nearby, with 643 spaces. For sat navs the postcode is M15 4PS. Graeme Park said: “ Seven appearances at Castlefield Bowl? Really? This show is always very, very special and I really can’t wait to return for another epic evening in July.”

House music was still underground – there were some commercial hits, but outside of specialist shows the best music was still only being heard in a few clubs. 808 State weren’t eyeing the charts, they had a more specific aim; to get the record played at the club. It was the be-all and end-all. According to Graham Massey, ”If you didn’t get it on at the Hacienda, it was a disaster”. Gerald pursued some solo work too. He’d be in the Hacienda all evening and then up all night making tunes that would fit alongside what he’d heard in the club, particularly the spacey, early Detroit house being played by Jon Dasilva who was resident at the Hacienda’s ‘Hot’ night. By October 1987 he’d taught himself to DJ and had a Wednesday night residency at the Hacienda. His influence on music since – especially in France – is incalculable.As anyone who has been to past events will tell you, it doesn't really matter if it's rain or shine, this is one gig you can guarantee a party atmosphere. But fans heading along will no doubt be pleased to hear the forecast is set fair for Friday night. Generations of indie-ravers have found inspiration from the pioneers and maintained the creative spirit of those Hacienda moments when electronic dance music fed off and into guitar music. I’m talking about the emergence in the late 1990s of DJs like Erol Alkan and, more recently, the cross-fertilisation seen in the work of the magnificent Hot Chip. Marking its seventh Castlefield event at “Sounds Of The City” in the eight years since 2016, the annual homecoming is one of the city’s events of the year as The Haçienda’s crowd, DJ Graeme Park, Manchester Camerata and special guests come together for what is now becoming a legendary party. It's about a five minute walk from Castlefield Bowl to the main line train station at Deansgate. At present, there hasn’t been any further rail strikes announced that may disrupt services.

Sasha started DJing with him and, when Jon was too busy to play a gig, taking his place. “It all came from there,” says Sasha. Here you can also access the Deansgate-Castlefield tram station where there are trams every 12 minutes connecting to all of the main tram routes in the Greater Manchester area.Sold out year on year, Haçienda Classical sees Tim Crooks lead the collective of artists and musicians on stage in performing well known favourites and new versions of club classics all mixed continuously into one non-stop set.
