A Wing returns for Halloween Weekend

Last May Bank Holiday weekend saw the arrival of one of the most talked about clubbing experiences in the North for some time. The cannily entitled A Wing party took over Her Majesty's now disused Lancaster Prison with three sell out shows, showcasing the talents of Derrick Carter, James Zabiela and Rob Da Bank, housing them in an ambitiously original setting that caused a major stir in the clubbing world.

This Halloween sees the long awaited return of the A Wing experience, with the rave convicts announcing two dates that already have us chomping at the bit. 

We can reveal that Friday 31st October's show, which comes under the title 'Dead Men Dancing', will welcome a headline DJ set from the ever impressive indie turned electro rockers The Horrors, who alongside Funkademia resident Jamie Scahill, CY Humphries and Arlo will be unleashing a night covering the more discerning avenues of electronic dance music. 

They will soundtrack a no fancy dress, no entry Halloween soiree, so you'd better start planning your macabre outfits and grizzly garb in preparation for another killer A Wing party. Get your tickets here.

The following night - Saturday 1st November sees A Wing team up with celebrated Liverpool promoters Freeze to bring Detroit techno vanguard Carl Craig to Lancaster, alongside Kaluki trio Pirate Copy and Freeze resident Jemmy.

Freeze's equally outside-the-box parties at venues like The Bombed Out Church, Williamson Tunnels and St George's Hall have bordered on the legendary (see what happened when they brought John Digweed to Camp and Furnace above) - it'll be great to see what they can come up with in the prison setting.

Coaches form Liverpool are being run too, email info@clubfreeze.co.uk for more details on that. Grab your tickets here and enter the code PRISONER to secure them.
