The 10 000 capacity venue, spread across five rooms, will also feature a variety of legendary Haçienda acts, including David Morales, Roger Sanchez, former Joy Division and New Order bassist Peter Hook and Mark XTC to name a few. Mike Pickering and Graeme Park will also join forces in a very special back-to-back set. Additionally, groups such as Inner City and Soul II Soul will feature, as will Factory indie band A Certain Radio.

Graeme Park, speaking about the event, has said, “I’m already beyond excited about The Haçienda returning to Depot Mayfield this December. Last year’s event was absolutely epic and the line-up this time promises to make this another huge party. I’m also looking forward to DJing with Mike Pickering for the first time since April 2022. So come on then Manchester! You will not be disappointed.”

Former Joy Division and New Order bassist Peter Hook has had his say on his return to Depot Mayfield, adding, “After a wonderful occasion last year and on our previous visits, we are delighted to reaffirm that The Hacienda’s lifelong legacy is still alive and kicking especially following our recent success dancing in the rain at Castlefield Bowl.”

Hook there was referencing The Haçienda’s recent event at Manchesters’ Castlefield Bowl earlier this month. The Depot Mayfield has also, in previous years, played host to additional Haçienda shows, frequently to great success.

The original Haçienda club, opened in 1982 by record label Factory Records, became the spiritual home of acid house as the genre of dance music quickly spread and captivated a generation in the late 80’s and earlier 90’s. As the Madchester movement gained momentum and popularity, so did The Haçienda, rapidly becoming one the of most famous clubs in the UK and indeed the world, and has maintained an almost cult like following since its inception to the present day.

Tickets will be available for general sale on Friday 28 July here.

The artist shared her inspiration behind the song, saying, “I wrote this song about missing people who I love and dreaming about being with them.” This idea is portrayed throughout the lyrics with the catchy chorus, “When you need a little love/And your head needs somewhere to sleep on/You can dream on, dream on me.”

The official lyric video has gained 6,000 views and shows angelic shots of Henderson alone – a great way to maintain social distancing in the current climate. To celebrate the release, the singer created a private Facebook group called ‘Ella Stars’ which her fans can join for updates. She even held an exclusive livestream within the group yesterday evening.

‘Dream On Me’ follows earlier single ‘Take Care Of You’ which came out in June as her first new piece of music of 2020. Appearing as a dance-pop track, fans were moved and excited by the song.

Ella Henderson made her debut on the ninth series of The X Factor in 2012 and, despite not winning the competition, she bonded with her audience and signed to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records shortly after. Her first album ‘Chapter One’ came out in 2014, followed by a number of successful singles including chart-topper ‘Ghost’. She has since collaborated with Sigma, Kygo, Jay Jones, and Sigala.

Roger Sanchez is a house music DJ and producer who has been working in the music business for years, winning a Grammy Award for his remix of No Doubt’s ‘Hella Good’ in 2003. He has released five studio albums of his own, and created remixes for the likes of Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue, Daft Punk, Madonna, The Police, and Maroon 5. He is also the owner and founder of Stealth Records, which was home to popular Swedish artist Avicii.
