In all out sonic heaven for dance lovers in Sheffield and Yorkshire - and in collaboration with BBC Introducing - the legendary Sheffield born dance brand Gatecrasher has added five incredible local hero DJs to the circus themed gathering, which has already confirmed the likes of Dutch DJ icons Ferry Corsten, Ilan Bluestone, Ruben de Ronde, Mark V, and Sander van Doorn.

Set in a giant big top at Don Valley Bowl and a super structural stage setting - complete with acrobats and all the fun of the fair near to the site of the club brand’s famous Millennium New Year’s Eve party - the Sunday all dayer event will no doubt be an irresistible potion of nostalgia for northern clubbers of old and new.

Sheffield DJ legends Corey Mahoney, Simon Brown and Sandy Turnbull have all been confirmed to start the Sunday closing party in style alongside the likes of BBC Introducing top picks, Lee Parkinson and Charla Green.

Speaking ahead of today's Sunday's new announcements, a spokesperson for Gatecrasher, said: “We are thrilled to be back home in Sheffield, our undoubted spiritual home.
