When: Saturday 2nd September 2023

Where: Middlesbrough Town Hall in Middlesbrough

Cheeky House Masters day festival, anyone? With techno and house including acid house, disco house, and old skool, this’ll be a blast.

House Masters, rooted in house, disco, and classic house tracks, hosts events and festivals to spread the best tunes to eager music fans. This one in Middlesbrough is an open-air shindig with street food, outdoor bars, a huge lineup (TBA), and festival production.

Going down at the back end of festival season, it’s the perfect (and very affordable) way to squeeze in one last bash as our favourite festivals hibernate for the winter again.

Ben Hemsley - Biggest Newcastle Show to Date: Venue TBA!

When: Saturday 14th October 2023

Where: VENUE TBA in Newcastle-upon-Tyne

A homecoming gig for one of the biggest UK DJs right now, obviously this is going to be next level.

With an insanely busy year ahead of him, Ben Hemsley will be polishing off countless festivals in the UK and across the globe, kicking off his first Ibiza residency, and then coming home for a biggun in Newcastle. 

This will be the young star’s biggest headline show to date and we expect just about every raver in Newcastle will be there. With a few other ravers from the north making the pilgrimage to see the trance/house icon too, of course.
