The Hacienda first opened on Whitworth Street in 1982, as an extension of Factory Records.
Moving in to a former yacht showroom, and designed by Ben Kelly, the club later became a beacon for the emerging rave scene, hosting nights like Nude and pioneering gay night Flesh. It would also host pivotal gigs from the likes of Madonna, who played her first UK show there, Primal Scream, Stone Roses, James, The Fall, The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys and, of course, New Order, who were part owners.
It closed its doors for good in June 1997, and was developed into apartments. The club threw another party in May this year, on the club’s actual birthday, in the underground car park of the Hacienda flats.
