Freaky Dancing was inspired by Manchester’s infamous Haçienda, where guitar bands like New Order, The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays crossed paths with acid house and where the birth of British rave culture went hand in hand with graphic design and architecture. That being said, we don’t like looking back too much and mainly aim to do things differently than they have been done before. This goal manifests itself in putting on live acts in the middle of the night, working with multiple stages within one room to eliminate changeovers and getting rid of the separation between a music and an art program. In doing so, we believe Freaky Dancing suits our modern age, in which people don’t enjoy only one music genre or art discipline at a time, but compile their own eclectic taste right across outdated borders and unwritten rules.

Over the course of three editions, we’ve been lucky enough to host a range of artists who excite and surprise us, from live acts and dj’s to fashionistas, installation and illustration creators, scent artists and performers. For an overview of the artists we’ve welcomed before, browse your way through our archive, where you’ll find interviews, live recordings and more.
