The event founders describe Manumission as a lifestyle. The word "manumission" means "release from slavery" and in the party, people were "free to do whatever [they wanted] to do".[1]
History[edit]
Manumission started in as a mixed gay event held at Club Equinox [2] in January 1994 in the Gay Village, Manchester, UK. It was forced to close due to gang warfare involving drug dealers[3] before moving to the Ku Nightclub, Ibiza later that year.[1] Ku changed its name to Privilege Nightclub in 1995. The events continued until in 2007, and were resumed at Amnesia the same year, before finally ending in 2008.
