As infamous clubs go, none can be more worthy of the status than Manchester’s Hacienda. Spawning so many artists inspired by the club, from the Chemical Brothers through to The Happy Mondays, through to Sasha, the Hacienda has undoubtedly changed the face of music history in Britain. Its hard to imagine how much we would have missed out on had the club never existed.

Friday 21st of June sees a very special Hacienda inspired event grace The Coronet, London.

In an effort to recreate the unique atmosphere of the Manchester club, the night will feature a stunning lineup of major players and hacienda alumni.
DJing legends Graeme Park and Mike Pickering will be at the top of the bill for the first time in the capital for quite some time. They will be joined by Hacienda favourites such as British house music DJ and one of the original founders of the UK's rave / club scene - Danny Rampling, acid house veteran Jon Dasilva, Justin Robertson, Allister Whitehead, K Klass, Bobby Langley, and a DJ set from New Order and Joy Division main man Peter Hook.

In true Hacienda style, there will also be live performances from Peter Hook and The Light who will be treating us to a New Order Electronic Set. With recent performances in London selling out, The Light have continued to gain critical acclaim, and with this set featuring a more electronic set up, expect a rip roaring live show that will astound.

Joining them will be 808 State, acid house and techno vanguards. With this being their first gig in London since early 2012, the 21st of June equals a rare opportunity to see these pioneers at work. With a set that will include some of their monumental classics as well as new material, their irrepressible style and panache will be a mesmerizing experience, in perfect fitting with the ethos of the Hacienda.

With huge production values, combining the finest in lighting and sound design, The Hacienda’s second event in London in a massive 20 years is shaping up to be the club and live event of the summer.
