Undeniably one of the most unique venues to hold a rave of this magnitude, Blackpool’s North Pier boast 150 years of history, making it a truly iconic venue in the North West of England. Its antique, historical vibe will be juxtaposed with a horde of rave hungry adults on Sat 28th September as the second leg of Sunset 2 Sunrise gets into full swing.

As with part one the festival will host some of the biggest players from the old skool, alongside up and coming local talent and firm favourites to throw a fourteen hour daytime rave unparallelled elsewhere.

Heading up the bill is none other than UK garage institution Artful Dodger. Perhaps most well known for their collaborations with Craig David with their ubiquitous smash hit 'Re-Rewind' and its familiar refrain of 'What You Gonna do', the three piece consisting of Dave Low, Mark Hill and MC Alister have continued to be a leading presence in UK dance music. They will be joined by the boisterous party starter Tom Zanetti showcasing his bassline driven jump up house, fully intent on getting the crowd whipped into shape.

Expect another star turn from old skool UK garage duo Sweet Female Attitude performing live, as well as the likes of Siobhan Gallagher, Phaze 2, Ko Kane & Lee Drake. Head here to take a look at the bulging line up.

With four arenas of dancefloor destroying music, expect to enjoy a comprehensive choice of classic piano house anthems, deep house and tech house represented in full, along with a fully operational fairground, facepaint stations, champagne bars and light and laser displays, combining all the fun of the fair with a rave fuelled knees up. The last one was a blast, this one promises even more. We can’t wait!
