Sankeys Brooklyn will open it’s doors for the first time on October 31st. Continuing the celebrations for Sankeys 20th Anniversary, the venues initial program will be made up of 20 shows featuring some of the worlds finest DJ’s including a 20 hour Tribal Sessions event with Apollonia for NYE.
The venue will launch with a Halloween special of Tribal Sessions headlined by the original Sankeys resident and Tribal legend Greg Vickers playing a 5 hour set alongside Jozef K and supported by New York City’s own Jkriv for a mammoth 12 hour party.
Following the opening night Sankeys will host Viva Warriors with Steve Lawler, Rosario and Marina Karamarko.
Here is what owner, David Vincent had to say about the news..
“Even though we did some great parties in Manhattan with artists like Dubfire, Jeff Mills, Danny Tenaglia, Sven Vath, Steve Lawler & Victor Calderone, we always felt the area and aesthetics of the venue was not quite right for us but we went with it.
As franchisors we were inexperienced and showed naivety in our approach to the difficulties we encountered. We have learnt an awful lot and are now, for the first time, taking direct control of all aspects of the new venue in Brooklyn, we are leaving nothing to chance! Sankeys is a basement style club and needs an intimate low ceiling venue to create our magic. Our new venue in Brooklyn is sure to create this. Just remember, in true Sankeys style our venues in Manchester & Ibiza struggled to begin with mainly due to the location and it has always been a challenge and New York has been no different so I take this as good omen. This time we are relocating key personnel from Ibiza which will ensure the club, which is, now located in a more appropriate part of NY will immediately come across as a Sankeys. New York will see the real Sankeys, now, it really is for us “a new beginning for us”.
