THE WAIT IS OVER – SK1 STREET PARTIES ARE BACK…
The long-awaited return of our now legendary street parties is over. Last year's event was wild, but unfortunately, it was well over-subscribed, which led to the event being put on hiatus until we figured out how best to keep the party going.
We’ve been working hard all winter to secure a way to keep these fantastic events happening, which has meant making the decision to move the event to the end of the road and up onto the Mersey Way Shopping Centre car park. YES.. A PARTY IN THE CAR PARK!
To kick things off at our new car park venue we see the return of Aficionado dons Jason Boardman & Moonboots; delivering summer-enducing baleraic beats with support from well-established local maverick Psychederek.
With the full support and help from the folks at Stockport Council we’re excited to deliver a summer of top programming.
About the artists:
Now 27 years of age, the left-leaning underground Manchester Club event Aficionado returns to Stockport to bring some serious heat to the SK. Aficionado heads Jason Boardman & Moonboots are the perfect selectors for our inaugural party at our new spot above the Merseyway. Do you have fond memories of dancing in the rain on Little Underbank in August 2023? We do and that's why they're here. The DJ duo have been defining the sound of balearic beat for over 35 years, way before it was a cool thing to do. Expect multi-genre and tempo goodness from Ambient to Acid, touching on all decades of dance music.
Joining them this evening is hip young gunslinger & dancefloor maverick - Psychederek who's been dusting up the ethereal underground with his baggy cover versions and psychedelic disco trips.
About the venue:
