Defected and Glitterbox announce NYE parties

Defected and Glitterbox have revealed their plans to ring in the new year for 2026/27. Having sold out NYE parties at both OVO Arena Wembley and The Warehouse Project in previous years, the brands have now launched an ambitious, simultaneous double feature across the north and south of England.

Defected and Glitterbox will hold the fort at The Warehouse Project in Manchester across two rooms, while Defected will also take on the iconic OVO Arena Wembley solo in its hometown of London.

Delivering 100% pure house in Wembley will be Basement Jaxx, Dennis Ferrer, Sam Divine B2B Low Steppa, Rae Sada and two very special guests TBA…

Representing Defected in Manchester at one of the north’s most iconic venues will be Eats Everything, Groove Armada, Oden & Fatzo, Paisley Jensen and also Sam Divine B2B Low Steppa. Glitterbox will also join in the second room, with Don’t F**k With Disco, Ella Knight, Fat Tony, Melvo Baptiste and Mix-Stress delivering the house, disco and funk sound that unites fans across the world.

A core part of the Defected family, fan favourite DJs Sam Divine and Low Steppa will make the journey from London to Manchester across the night, giving Defected ticket holders in both areas the full familial experience.

Fresh off the back of its third, sold-out takeover of North London venue DRUMSHEDS in September 2025, the demand for Defected parties across the UK is higher than ever. House music fans will want to sign up for the next wave of tickets out very soon.

Two Defected parties will take place this New Year’s Eve, Thursday 31^st December 2026/27. One at OVO Arena Wembley in London. Sign up here. One at The Warehouse Project in Manchester. Sign up here.
