On Saturday, September 19, 2026, two institutions that helped define modern club culture will come together under the iconic roof of Amnesia as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations
In the summer of 1987, a group of British DJs visited Amnesia and experienced a moment that would change everything. The genre-defying sets of Alfredo Fiorito, the early pulse of house music and the freedom of the Balearic spirit ignited something that returned to the UK and found a new home at The Haçienda in Manchester.
By 1988, Amnesia had become a global reference point for the emerging dance music movement, while acid house was exploding across Britain, redefining youth culture and the very idea of what a nightclub could be. The dialogue between Ibiza and Manchester became one of the most important cultural exchanges in the history of electronic music — and decades later, that connection comes full circle.
This reunion takes shape through Hacienda Classical, the acclaimed project led by legendary Haçienda resident Graeme Park. Reimagining iconic house anthems with powerful orchestral arrangements, live vocalists and choir, Hacienda Classical transforms the raw energy of late ’80s and early ’90s club classics into a large-scale live experience without losing their original pulse.
Bringing this concept to Amnesia, the lineup connects generations of house music: David Morales, Detroit legends Inner City (live), Brooklyn pioneer Todd Terry, long-time Haçienda resident Graeme Park, co-founder Mike Pickering and DJ Paulette, alongside a special performance from Alison Limerick, the voice behind the generational anthem “Where Love Lives.”
The night will be a unique musical celebration, with legendary DJs delivering a carefully curated journey through classic, contemporary and forward-thinking sounds — all infused with the iconic spirit of both The Haçienda and Amnesia. Past, present and future will meet on one dancefloor, creating an atmosphere that honours the legacy while embracing what lies ahead.
This is not a revival. It is the continuation of a story that began on a Balearic dancefloor and changed club culture forever. Be part of it. Get your tickets here.
