Our Services
What We Offer
Four ways to get a night out of us, all run by the same crew.
Club Nights
Our regular nights run Thursday to Sunday, built around residents who know the room and the crowd that fills it. Expect a proper sound system, a late licence, and a door team that knows most of the faces coming through.
Live Events
We bring in live acts alongside the DJ line-ups, from small band sets to full show nights with proper stage sound. The room's set up to suit the act, so a live set never feels like an afterthought.
Private Hire
Birthdays, label parties, launches, we've hired the space out for all of it and say yes when it makes sense. You get the same sound and lighting we run on our own nights, handled by people who've done this hundreds of times.
Guest Bookings
Touring DJs and guest names get slotted in alongside our residents rather than flown in for one night and forgotten. We sort the booking, the rider and the set times, so the guest just has to turn up and play.

About Us
Independent from the First Night
We started Nightwave because a few of us couldn't find the night out we wanted, so we put one on ourselves. That was independent promoting from the first booking, and it still is. No chain behind us, no head office, just a small crew who book the DJs, run the door and stay till the last tune. The faces on the decks have changed over the years, residents building their sets week on week alongside touring names passing through Manchester, but the late licence and the sound never get compromised on. We've hired the room out for birthdays, label nights and private parties too, saying yes whenever it made sense. Thursday to Sunday, the doors open and the same crew is checking levels, because a good night comes down to the details nobody else notices.

FAQs
Common Questions
What nights are you open?+
We run Thursday through to Sunday, with different nights carrying different residents and sounds. Check the listings for what's on before you head down, as line-ups change week to week.
Can I book the venue for a private party?+
Yes, we do private hire for birthdays, label nights and other parties. Get in touch with your date and rough numbers and we'll tell you what's possible and what it costs.
How do I get on the guest list or book tickets?+
Tickets and guest list are handled through our listings, which go up as soon as a night is confirmed. For guest list requests specifically, message us directly rather than turning up on the night and hoping.
Is there an age limit or dress code?+
It's over 18s only, ID on the door, no exceptions. There's no strict dress code, but come dressed for a night out rather than the gym.
I'm a DJ, how do I get booked?+
Send us your mixes and a bit about what you play, we do listen to everything that comes in. We book residents for the long term and slot touring names around them, so it helps to tell us which you're after.
