Prepare for the triumphant return of the incomparable Jo Whiley to the vibrant city of Newcastle, following her phenomenal, sold-out shows in 2022 and 2023. Once again, she's set to take the stage by storm, delivering a pulsating performance that'll resurrect the very essence of the '90s. Get ready for an unforgettable night filled with the anthems that defined a generation.
With festival quality sound, lighting and effects, Jo Whiley will make it a night to remember.
Jo will be unleashing a torrent of hits from the greatest decade in music history. Picture this: Blur vs. Oasis, the irresistible beats of Fatboy Slim, the soulful echoes of Primal Scream, the sonic brilliance of The Verve, the electronic mastery of The Chemical Brothers, the ethereal tunes of Faithless, the electrifying energy of The Prodigy, and a whole galaxy of other iconic tracks that shaped an entire era. It's all here, under one roof, waiting to be danced to once more.
Before Jo Whiley takes the stage and unleashes the '90s frenzy, prepare to be immersed in the era's groove with our expert warm-up DJ, Chris Gregg. He'll set the mood, ignite the nostalgia, and ensure you're primed and ready for a night that promises to be nothing short of epic.
