Manchester club 'Sankeys', voted the best venue in the world by DJ Mag, has announced details to open up a new venue across the pond in the heart of Manhattan.

Across 16,000sq ft in a brand new space situated in a former garage in the Hell’s Kitchen area on 50th West Street, Sankeys New York will have a capacity of 1100 people.

Owner of Sankeys, David Vincent claims,

“Since announcing we had a vision to open other clubs around the world we have been inundated with offers, however, New York was always going to be the first location for Sankeys home from home. Out of all the cities that have made Sankeys what it is, New York has, without a doubt, had the biggest influence on our music, design and technology (such as our Phazon Soundsystem). We built Sankeys in Manchester with all the great New York DJ’s’ in mind, and most importantly, to make sure that they always feel welcome. Good lessons were learnt at great NYC parties such as Be Yourself at Vinyl from the greatest entertainer of them all, Danny Tenaglia.

Sankeys has been organically built around the great traditions of New York... this is now our way of giving New York back what it gave Sankeys, with my own futuristic twisted twist of course…”

We will keep you posted on details as they unfold.
