Last night, Manchester took a step back in time to celebrate the iconic days of Hacienda nightclub for its 40th anniversary. The sun made a welcome appearance for the show, which was held outdoors at Castlefield Bowl as part of the ongoing Sounds of the City series.
Thousands of ravers turned up for the event, which looked like a scene from Parklife it was so bustling. As we found a spot at the very top of the hill for the best view, I looked around and saw countless happy people.
It was a delight to see such a diverse and varied mix of people from all ages dancing with one another. There were plenty of parents who'd gone with their (grown up) kids, as well as couples and large groups of friends.
