  • The Hacienda have announced that following the postponement of their Japan tour, Good Friday's party at Sankeys will become a fund raiser, From Manchester To Japan With Love x. Originally booked as headliners for The Hacienda's tour of Japan, Basement Jaxx DJs Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton are taking on the same role for the fund raiser. Next up are local boys Delphic who are making their debut for The Hacienda, bringing their brand of live electronic/indie to the stage. Hacienda regulars Justin Robertson and Jon Dasilva also make the bill, while Rowetta will be providing accompaniment as a live PA throughout the night. New Order's Peter Hook will also be playing a set of rare remixes and classics alongside The Temperance Club's Dave Haslam. Other acts on the night include the 808 State DJs, Herbie Saccani, Oli Furness and resident DJs from local club nights Zutech and Micron. All proceeds will be going to disaster relief charities in Japan. People who are unable to attend on the night can donate to the fund here.
