From starting in a Manchester warehouse in 1991 to hosting events in London, Tokyo, Manhattan and Ibiza, it’s fair to say Sankeys is a globally recognised name within the club scene. Now expanding into Welsh territory for the first time, from this month they take over a Swansea gym complex named the Ware-House – there’ll be regular events happening across the main arena, as well as a more intimate space called The Lab Room. The pop-up Sankeys will see an all-day launch party rave event with guests including Richy Ahmed, wAFF and Max Chapman.
