Historic event of FAC51 The Haçienda and Amnesia Ibiza

This Saturday, September 19, 2026, two institutions that helped define modern clubbing culture reunite under the iconic roof of Amnesia for its 50th anniversary.

Two great institutions of electronic music join forces for a very special night; the legendary FAC51 The Haçienda arrives on the White Isle this September. An absolute benchmark of modern club culture in the UK, The Haçienda left its mark on generations with its sound, spirit, and attitude, and now it meets the Ibizan icon Amnesia, where it all began, for a unique encounter between past, present, and future.

Prepare yourself for a night of pure energy, timeless anthems, and a dance floor designed to experience unforgettable moments. This collaboration unites the underground essence of Manchester with the magic and international reach of Ibiza, creating an atmosphere that connects decades of musical evolution.

Saturday, September 19, will not just be a party — it will be a celebration of the history of clubbing, its community, and the future of electronic music. A legendary night, in an iconic club, that you cannot miss.

A historic lineup for an unrepeatable night

The lineup connects generations of house music: David Morales, the legendary Inner City from Detroit in a live format, Brooklyn pioneer Todd Terry, historic The Haçienda resident Graeme Park, co-founder Mike Pickering, and DJ Paulette, in addition to a special performance by Alison Limerick, the voice behind the generational anthem “Where Love Lives”.

HAÇIENDA CLASSIÇAL

The show has exceeded all expectations since its inception and has received an extraordinary reception from both the public and critics. NME called it “probably the best rave since 1997”, while Mixmag described the event as “a nearly two-hour mix with some of the great protagonists of house music history, with an audience dancing and singing from the very first moment”.

With its unique combination of dance music classics and orchestral arrangements, Haçienda Classiçal has marked a turning point in the music industry. The show's ability to bring together diverse audiences and create an electric atmosphere has solidified its position as an essential date for music lovers from all over the world. And, just as it happened with the original club, the show continues to evolve.

A SHARED HISTORY

In the summer of 1987, a group of British DJs visited Amnesia and experienced a change that would transform everything. The sessions of Alfredo Fiorito, defying genres, the initial pulse of house, and the freedom of the Balearic spirit ignited something that returned to the United Kingdom and found a new home at The Haçienda in Manchester.

By 1988, Amnesia had become a global benchmark for the emerging dance music movement, while acid house exploded in Great Britain, redefining youth culture and the very idea of what a club 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 meets again.

This return takes shape through Hacienda Classical, the celebrated project led by The Haçienda resident Graeme Park. Reimagining iconic house tracks through powerful orchestral arrangements, live vocalists, and a choir, Hacienda Classical transforms the raw energy of late 80s and early 90s club anthems into a large-scale live experience, without losing its original pulse.

The night will be a unique musical celebration, with legendary DJs offering a carefully selected journey through classic, contemporary, and visionary sounds, all imbued with the iconic spirit of both The Haçienda and Amnesia. Past, present, and future will meet on the same dance floor, creating an atmosphere that honors the legacy while embracing what is to come.

This is not a revival. It is the continuation of a story that began on the Balearic dance floor and changed clubbing culture forever. Be a part of it.
