Manchester Gay Pride 2010 @ Cruz 101

This year Cruz 101 hosts it’s 18th Manchester Pride throwing a series of parties to remember as we take a step back into the pages of history to ancient Greece, home of legendary heroes such as Hercules and Achilles, ferocious monsters, flying horses, the Olympic Games and of course, Mount Olympus – home to the Gods and Goddesses who wielded their powers over the earth below. Cruz 101 will be transformed into your very own Mount Olympus complete with Greek pillars and temples where you can party till dawn and admire the local Adonis – who knows you may even wake up with him!!

The Cruz 101 pride line up as follows:

Thursday 26th August

Two of Manchester’s clubbing giants duke it out at this Big Weekend pre-party.

Working together on this sell-out night for over six years, Cruz & Poptastic go back to back on 2 floors of cheesy kitsch bitch pop music in Cruz and funky house and dance downstairs in Sub. Two styles of music, two DJs Rob James & John Hamilton.
