Classic Ibiza returns to Hatfield House this weekend. Here’s all you need to know for a night of sweet harmony.
Get your picnic rugs, glow sticks and dancing shoes ready as the outdoor celebration of dance music for all the family is back this Saturday, August 31.
Performed live by the Urban Soul Orchestra, DJ Goldierocks and vocalists, Classic Ibiza will take the Hatfield crowd on a magical rollercoaster ride of dance music's most iconic tracks, reinvented by an orchestra that has worked with the very best in the industry, including Nightmares On Wax, Groove Armada and Robert Miles.
Stephen Hussey, founder and conductor of USO, said: "Hatfield is always a special show for us as it's the last of our seven venue summer tour of the UK.
"We can't wait to share all the updated material with the fantastically receptive Hertfordshire audience."
