2022NQ
High Five for Christmas
High Five returns to Manchester for a special Christmas party and to make it a proper celebration they’ve got twelve of their favourite DJs back to play a special set featuring FIVE of their favourite tunes of all time, on top of that they have a special guest who will be treating us all to an extended set well into the early hours. As this is the season of goodwill to all men all proceeds from the night will be donated to the Campaign Against Living Miserably charity (CALM). 2022NQ will also be transformed into a Christmas Rave Grotto and being High Five they will be gifting someone with a very special prize. Spreading the Christmas cheer with a very special set each will be Krysko (The Warehouse Project), James Holroyd (Back to Basics), Greg Lord (The Warehouse project), Gareth Brooks (XFM), Neil Diablo (Diablo Disco), Luke Unabomber (Electric Chair), Jamie Scahill (Funkademia), Oli Furness (LIVE), Mark Webster (Cosmic Disco), Adam Ross (TPot), Alan Hall (High Five) and Matt Wilden (High Five) plus an extended set from a special guest to be confirmed.
Entry is just £6, or just £5 in advance, all of which will be going to CALM. High Five parties have raised over £8,500 for various causes and all proceeds from this event will be going to The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) which was set up to reduce the high suicide rate amongst men under 35, currently the single biggest killer of young men in the UK. It is a campaign and charity targeting young men with a helpline, magazine and online community, but CALM listens to anyone who needs help or support.
