New Year’s Eve events near me in Manchester: how to celebrate in 2021

New Year’s Eve has been rather muted this past two years thanks to the impact of the pandemic and lockdowns affecting the hospitality industry.

And so many of us are looking forward to a bigger celebration this year as we welcome in 2022.

The scale of demand among the city’s revellers becomes clear looking at how many of Manchester’s events have now sold out.

If you still fancy heading out, here’s what you need to know about Manchester on New Year’s Eve.

The Warehouse Project (SOLD OUT)

Their popular New Year’s Eve party this year features the one and only Fatboy Slim, DJ Annie Mac, Hannah Wants and many more for revellers who want to dance all night into the new year. Unfortunately, all the tickets for this one have now gone.

NYE Disco at Manchester Cathedral

New year, hundreds of years of history - and some soulful sounds. Enjoy an NYE with a difference as DJs play a mix of disco, funk and soulful house in the historic cathedral surroundings. The line-up features Andrea Trout (Eves’ Drop DJ Collective, Reform Radio); Rhod Parry (Albert Schloss resident) and Sundae Sudz (Surco resident) and it kicks off at 8pm. Tickets cost £19 from Feverup.

King Street Townhouse Rooftop 1920s Party (SOLD OUT)

Step back in time before we jump forward a year and enjoy the spirit of the roaring 1920s, all with a rooftop view.

The Townhouse party includes live entertainment with the Bentley Brothers promising ‘sophisticated rock and pop’. And it is clearly a popular option as there is no room remaining for anyone making last-minute plans.

O2 Victoria Warehouse: Clubland

Billing itself as the biggest New Year’s Eve event in the north, the line-up this year features Ravers Reunited and Sopranos. Running from 7pm til 5am, it’s one for the more hardcore partygoers among you. Tickets from £29.40 at Ticketmaster.

New Year’s Eve at the Oasthouse (SOLD OUT)

Celebrate the arrival of 2022 in laid-back style in the courtyard and teepee, with live music and entertainment throughout the evening, or enjoy seeing in 2022 in style in a ski lodge for six people. Unfortunately, all the availability is taken up for this one too.

New Year’s Eve at Cargo in the Printworks

The club located in the Printworks is calling on revellers to hit the dancefloor to see in 2022 with a party running from 8pm until 5am on New Year’s Day. Manchester DJs will be spinning the decks with a mix of hip-hop, R&B and club classics. Tickets are £33.25 on Skiddle.

Ultimate Power New Year’s Eve

You can also rock and air-guitar your way into 2022 courtesy of Ultimate Power New Year’s Eve at the O2 Ritz. The venue will be playing power ballads all night long, so expect a full evening of epic emotions and massive guitar solos courtesy of the likes of Journey, Bonnie Tyler, Bon Jovi, Toto, Queen, Whitney Houston, Aerosmith and more. Tickets are £16.90 and available through Ticketmaster.
