We’re nearly there, guys! We’ve nearly made it through winter. Give yourself a pat on the back, we’ve made it through.
With the 20th of March being the end of winter, we’re less than three weeks away from the first day of spring! And, in just under six weeks, the clocks go forward. So the beer garden laughs, barbecues, outdoor gigs, and festivals are almost here. But if you love winter, well, condolences…
With festival season approaching, we’ve got four festivals in this week’s New On Skiddle, as well as a 16+ DnB rave, PRTY presenting Pawlowski, UB40 ft. Ali Campbell, two gorgeous shows in The Warehouse Project’s Archive room, and more.
Check out what’s new below, secure your tickets, and pack 2024 with fun, laughs, and dancing!
When: Friday 22nd March 2024
Where: Digital Newcastle in Newcastle Upon Tyne
Infusing trance, acid, and 90s rave sounds into his galvanising productions and sets, European DJ and producer Pawlowski comes to Newcastle in March, courtesy of soon-to-be-legendary Scottish event brand PRTY.
Having dropped his debut EP late last year on Charlotte De Witte’s KNTXT, he’s never been better prepared to get crowds grooving through his set. And with support from Adam Cutting, Cadzow, and Jezza & Jod, the place will be jumping from start to finish.
If you love hard dance, give Pawlowski a little listen before securing your tickets below. An incredible DJ who knows how to control a crowd, it’ll be brilliant.

UB40 ft Ali Campbell In The Park | Leazes Park, Newcastle
When: Friday 23rd August 2024
Where: Leazes Park in Newcastle Upon Tyne
What a way to kick off the August bank holiday weekend! UB40 ft. Ali Campbell comes to Newcastle’s Leazes Park to sprinkle luscious reggae vibes through the air on a (fingers crossed) warm summer’s evening.
To get you all warmed up, support comes from reggae veteran DJ David Rodigan, UK dancehall’s M Dot R, and The Marley Experience, honouring those simply iconic Bob Marley songs we all know and love.
With pints, green scenery, and reggae (easily the most summer-ready genre), we’ve got the recipe for an unforgettable summer bank holiday weekend.

Where: Archive At Depot Mayfield in Manchester
The Warehouse Project strikes again as Girls Don’t Sync takes over the Archive with their multi-genre selections, provoking nothing but massive smiles and excellent vibes.
The all-female DJ/producer collective embraces just about any dance genre, so long as it’ll get the crowd moving. In the past, they’ve injected afrobeats, UKG, bass, dancehall, house, remixed pop bangers, amapiano and more into their sets, while keeping the audience engaged by jumping, standing on tables, slinging gun-fingers, and hyping everyone up as they take turns on the decks.
Always a super engaging show with music in there to suit many music fans, GDS is set to deliver another set you’ll be thinking about for weeks after the fact.

Super Sonix brings its second show of the year to Birmingham’s Forum with none other than DnB’s star of the moment Bou.
With bangers like ‘Baddadan’, ‘Closer’, and ‘Streetside’ under his belt along with years of DJing experience, which has taken him to some of dance music’s biggest festivals and raves, any young drum and bass fan is in safe hands with Bou.
More names are still to be announced, but with one of the scene's best-loved names already confirmed, and with Super Sonix’s history of booking the best in the game, we know this one will be unreal.
