Symphonic Ibiza has today announced a major new addition to its line-up, with Vernon Kay’s BBC Radio 2 Dance Sounds of the 90s Live Tour joining the event at the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, on Saturday 15 August.
Already set to be one of Harrogate’s biggest summer nights, the event will now also feature a full live support show from Vernon Kay celebrating the very best of 90s dance classics in association with BBC Radio 2, giving audiences even more as part of a huge open-air evening in the Show Ring.
Best known as one of the UK’s most recognisable broadcasters, Vernon currently fronts the hugely popular weekday mid-morning show on BBC Radio 2 and of-course his Dance Sounds of the 90s show, with his live show quickly becoming one of the most talked-about nostalgia nights in the UK. Expect everything from massive singalong vocals and iconic club favourites to big piano hooks, hands-in-the-air trance riffs and the biggest dance anthems from one of music’s greatest eras.
Vernon Kay said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be bringing BBC Radio 2’s Dance Sounds of the 90s Live Tour to Harrogate this summer. The 90s gave us some of the greatest dance records ever made and there’s nothing better than getting out in front of a big crowd to celebrate them properly. It’s going to be such a brilliant night and I can’t wait to be part of it.”
Freddy White, founder of Yorkshire-based company Sound & White and lead promoter of Symphonic Ibiza, said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Vernon to Harrogate. To have a show of this calibre and profile joining the line-up is a huge moment for us and a fantastic boost for the event.
“It’s fantastic to be bringing the energy and recognition of a BBC Radio 2 brand into the Symphonic Ibiza arena. Vernon’s Dance Sounds of the 90s has such a strong identity and following, and it feels like a brilliant fit for what we are building at the Show Ring.
“Audiences are now getting Vernon Kay’s full live tour set as part of the evening before the main Symphonic Ibiza show begins, so it really does add another layer and make this an even bigger night out.”
