Sankeys have kicked off what will be 12 months of celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary of Sankeys. Beginning life as Sankeys Soap in June 1994 in the Beehive Mill in Manchester, the club has since branched out and opened clubs in Ibiza and New York. To mark the milestone Sankeys have a number of special events and projects planned and
David Vincent had this to say:
“At this moment in time, I can safely say that Sankeys Ibiza is the number one club in the world right now. In the last 20 years of my career I have been involved in four of the best nightclubs in the world, The Hacienda, Ministry Of Sound and Pacha Ibiza in the ‘90s and Sankeys Manchester in the noughties. All these clubs at some point during these periods were recognized as being the best clubs in the world. Comparing Sankeys Ibiza to these clubs, I can safely say we are the best and I’m extremely proud of what we have achieved in the last 20 years.”
The series of special events and projects will all centre on the number 20 with 20 events being hosted around the world in locations from Peru to Brazil, Croatia to New York City and Japan to Switzerland. Sankeys will be involved in a 20,000 capacity festival, which will be their biggest event to date and this summer will also see Darius Syrossian deliver his Sankeys 20th anniversary mix which was put together live in Sankeys.
The mix comprises of two CDs, one of which includes new and exclusive tracks by Syrossian and the other which includes a selection of classic tracks that have defined the club.
Finally, 20 changes have been made to Sankeys Ibiza, with The Lab, Spektrum and the Basement all seeing these special changes, so you’ll have to get down there to find out what is new.
