Willow, Parris, mamba.exe | Soup | Sat 3 Aug | £19

It’s hard to imagine the Northern Quarter without Soup, or Soup Kitchen as it was once known. They’re celebrating 14 years since opening with local legend, Willow, on an extended license from 10pm-6am. Joining her in the basement is Parris, known for his cutting-edge ambient and electronica, collaborations with Call Super, and transcendent DJ sets.

BENT | The Yard | Sat 24 Aug 2pm-2am | £25

If you’re celebrating Pride this August bank holiday, this open-air rave is a no brainer. With a capacity of 1000, high-end sound and an unbelievable array of DJs in the form of D. Tiffany, Gideön, Michelle Manetti and more, there’s sure to be plenty of energy in the house. We would say pray for good weather in this bleak summer, but there’s an indoor chill-out area so no need to pack the poncho. When you’re there, check out the name of the street the Yard is on.
