XXL Techno returns to Manchester with Anetha, TRYM and Dubyshkin

XXL Techno returns to Depot Mayfield with one of the season’s largest bills, mixing fast techno, hard dance, gabber and trance across a twelve-hour format. Anetha, AZYR, TRYM, a live set from Vladimir Dubyshkin, MCR-T, Faster Horses and Restricted sit alongside Darren Styles, Mad Dog and a younger generation working with high tempos and 1990s and 2000s rave references. The scale of the programme reflects XXL’s evolution into an indoor festival where several scenes overlap through pace and intensity rather than through a narrow definition of techno alone.
