There’s a huge all day Hacienda ‘stay at home’ party happening on Saturday

This Easter Saturday you can get involved in “The Hacienda House Party”, an all-day online club / conversation event that brings together the best DJ’s, residents and rock stars that have frequented FAC51 to support Manchester’s creative community and charities, and channel the indomitable spirit of the club at this time of crisis.

A trio of American house legends, Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez and David Morales are headlining exclusively from across the Atlantic. They join The Hacienda’s own Graeme Park, Jon Dasilva, Tom Wainwright and K Klass (Live PA) who turn in their sets from a special lockdown studio somewhere in Manchester.

Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll plays a special live set spanning the group’s catalogue of classics as well as new and unreleased tracks whilst one of Chicago house’s very best exports Roy Davis Jr completes the roster.

Midway through the broadcast there will be “An Audience With Peter Hook Shaun Ryder & Graeme Park” as they chat about their shared histories and gigs together with John Robb and take questions from the online audience.

The Hacienda’s first ever “Stay-At-Home-Rave” will be broadcast by United We Stream Greater Manchester from 12 noon onwards who will be raising vital funds for Greater Manchester’s night time economy, creative and cultural organisations, Nordoff Robbins and The Greater Manchester’s Mayor’s Charity.

United We Stream is free to watch, but viewers can donate via the website, with all income of the stream going directly to a relief fund with 8% of funds raised donated to Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Charity, 22% donated to the Mayor Of Greater Manchester’s Charity, meaning 70% of all funding generated going specifically to support the Greater Manchester’s night time economy music venues, restaurants, bars, freelancers and cultural organisations who are unable to work or operate their businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Entertaining locally and globally at the same time, The Hacienda and its place in Manchester’s music culture makes “The Hacienda House Party” another excellent reason to stay indoors this Saturday under the current circumstances.
