The global clubbing brand Gatecrasher, made famous by legendary dance music events in Sheffield during the 90s, will return to its spiritual home for a one-off day of iconic classic dance music at this year’s Rock N Roll Circus at Don Valley Bowl.

Building on previous classical events, plans for this all-day event on Sunday 3rd September will see legendary Gatecrasher DJs performing alongside a full orchestra, featuring some of the most iconic dance tracks as you’ve never heard them before.

Speaking ahead of the announcement, a spokesperson for Rock N Roll Circus told Exposed: “Gatecrasher was at the zenith of clubbing culture in this country for so many years and we’re proud to be able to bring it back for this one-off all-day spectacular in its spiritual home of Sheffield.

“The millennium party it hosted 23 years ago is the stuff of legend, and we couldn’t think of a better way to conclude our first Rock N Roll Circus in the city with an all-out Gatecrasher party featuring all of the DJs that helped propel its brand onto the international stage.”

The Rock N Roll Circus event combines the best in musical talent with the weird and wonderful world of the circus. Alongside the music, guests will also be entertained by performances from resident aerialists, stilt walkers, fortune tellers and much more.

There will also be a distinct family-friendly element to this event complete with circus workshops, family activities and fun for the kids – details of which will all be announced soon.

Rock N Roll Circus 2023 is scheduled to take place at the Don Valley Bowl across three days from the 1st to the 3rd of September.

The first day will see Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds headline the big top, joined by performances from Happy Mondays, The Cribs, The Joy Formidable and Somebody’s Child. The next day will be headlined by South Yorkshire’s finest Self Esteem, with Confidence Man, Bimini, Arctic Numpties and more acts also taking to the stage before Sunday closes off the party with Gatecrasher DJs and Gatecrasher Classical.

The full DJ lineup will be announced soon. This is an all-day event starting at 2pm and closing at 10:30pm.

Early bird tickets for Gatecrasher at Rock N Roll Circus will go on sale this Friday 9th June from 10am, priced at £30 plus booking fees.
