May 2012 will see some of the biggest names in OldSkool come together for two nights of 80s and 90s classic dance music.

Taking place at Bath Racecouse over the weekend of May 12th and 13th, Retrotrax Festival will feature over 100 DJs, live acts and MCs playing across four arenas.

With music covering everything from acid to Italian house, techno to trance and jungle to happy hardcore, the festival will be a celebration of all things OldSkool, and a gathering of like-minded souls.

With one of the best classic dance line-ups ever to come together on the same bill, the weekend will feature sets from some of the biggest names of the past 25 years, including those who shaped and pioneered the scene to make it what it is today.

Acts confirmed to play over the weekend include Marshal Jefferson, FPI Project, Ce Ce Rogers, 2 Bad Mice, Greg Wislon, DJ Slipmatt, FRank de Wulf, Alison Limerick, Chris 'Bam Bam' Westbrook, John Kelly and many, many more. You can see the full Retrotrax line up here.



The festival will also act as a fundraising effort for Piers Sanderson's film 'High on Hope',  documenting the time when acid house arrived from Chicago and hit Thatcher's 1980's Britain. Find out more about that here.

Weekend tickets with camping are just £89,  with VIP packages available for £150.
