Idra

Idra occupies 53 Store Street in Manchester, on a site formerly used by one of the UK’s largest machineworks. Machinery connected with those works gave the venue its name. It began operating in January 2026 and can accommodate about 2,000 people, across The Foundry, Machine 32 and Bunker. Before opening, Idra announced an event for 31 January 2026, featuring Alisha presenting her Ulish label.

In The Foundry, elevated balconies overlook a floor intended for live performances and club nights. Machine 32 combines concrete flooring and exposed brick with a central DJ booth, while an Idra Gigapress hangs above the dancefloor. Bunker is an underground concrete space with a Funktion-One sound system. Artists who have played there include Basslayerz, Serum and Turno.
