Warehouse Project 2010
Every year a car park under Piccadilly Station undergoes something of an alter-ego transformation. It remains a car park by day but at night, once the vehicles have gone and their commuter owners returned to life in suburbia, the car park takes on a life of its own. The Warehouse Project take over, installing a massive sound system, bars, stage and...well, that’s about it really. What more do you need for a massive party? The Warehouse Project has become one of the countries (if not the world’s) biggest set of underground gigs, attracting massive names from the worlds of techno, drum and bass, house, indie and electronica.
They were voted the ninth best club in the world by DJ Magazine this year and have just announced their plans for this year, which you can see in full here. They transform the car park into its night time guise for the first time on 23 September 2010 and carry on all the way through to the New Year, closing the doors, as is their wont, on New Year’s Day. This year you can expect the usual eclectic mix of artists global and local, including Ian Brown, Delphic, Kelis, Maximo Park, Paul Van Dyk, Doves, DOOM and Pete Tong, with literally hundreds of others joining the bills through the months.
And if you’re wondering how a car park can transform into one of the best clubs in the world, The Warehouse Project have helpfully provided a picture to illustrate just that:
That’s...err...obviously it with the lights out. It is cool though - trust us.

I still don't quite understand why people are so excited about WHP - been there twice, trying to get past dozens of touts and police men with sniffer dogs at the door, queued 45 mins for the toilets, got my feet covered in mud and pierced by ladies wearing stiletto heels (must be particularly great for dancing to techno music) and was mostly surrounded by a weird combo of securities and pill munching ravers.
Without all that, the WHP parties would be pretty amazing and the line up is always impressive, but it just seems to attract the wrong people.
It could have been so good...
