  • The Haçienda, in association with Spanish promoter Rachdingue, will throw a one-off event in Madrid in October. The iconic Manchester venue, which helped pioneer the UK's acid house movement, shut its doors in 1997. Since then, a myriad of Haçienda-related events have taken place around the world, including a UK tour in 2012 to mark the 30th anniversary of its opening. On Saturday, October 19th, the club will host its first showcase in the Spanish capital, taking over the city's Auditorio Miguel Rios. Headlining the 15,000-capacity gig will be the Happy Mondays, Peter Hook & The Light, who will perform the best of New Order, and Spanish band Cycle. More artists are still to be confirmed. The concert will run from 5.30 PM through midnight.
