THE ULTIMATE 90s RAVE REUNION
Bank Holiday Weekend | Saturday 2nd May 2026 | Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Manchester
Relive the golden age of rave at Manchester Forever - the biggest celebration of the 90s Manchester rave scene.
This year, the event will be marked by a very special moment: the Stu Allan Festival will officially host the main arena at Manchester Forever on Saturday 2nd May 2026.
Back at its spiritual home, the legendary Bowlers Exhibition Centre will once again become the epicentre of rave. In the 1990s, Bowlers defined UK club culture, hosting era-defining events including Helter Skelter, Fantazia, Life, Compulsion and Asylum. Its vast 84,000-square-foot space was a temple for thousands of ravers, and remains one of Manchester’s most important cultural landmarks.
On Bank Holiday weekend 2026, Manchester Forever will bring it all back with:
- Four arenas spanning Old Skool, Hardcore, Jungle, Acid, Gabber and Techno
- A full 90s fairground experience
- Over 60 legendary DJs and MCs

“Manchester Forever is a reunion for the people who lived it, loved it and shaped the scene. Bringing this back to Bowlers feels like closing the circle on one of the most important chapters in UK dance music.” - Forever Presents Team
