Sankeys & Red Bull Music Academy team up

Taking the inimitable style of carefully curated programming that has long since become its calling card, Red Bull Music Academy is hitting the road this spring. The Red Bull Music Academy UK Tour will roll in to Manchester this Friday (check out our review from Bristol here) to bring to a close a month with a programme of club nights, shows, lectures, workshops, daytime parties, live radio broadcasts and special events from some of music’s most eminent emissaries.

This Friday Industrial City Sounds will be taking over clubbing institution Sankeys for a night of techno excellence featuring Derrick May, Surgeon, Happa, Acre, Dana Ruh and Tin Man.

Local duo DR.ME showcase some of their iconic record sleeve artwork in DR.ME’s Jacket; RBMA Radio pop up with the final live broadcast of the tour, RBMA Radio: Live in Manchester, featuring new wave talent Metrodome, Paleman, Danuka, Swing Ting, Meet Free DJs and Growing Palms alongside Krystal Klear, Zed Bias, Jon K, Jonny Dub and Chunky; Academy alum Doc Daneeka and Omar-S headline Deep South, and the grime crew return with a lecture from Skepta and a blowout Tropical bash at historic venue The Ritz.
