Sankeys_IBZ_Dance8889_SQThe renowned Sankeys have got a new treat up their sleeve that is going to bring back the rave scene bigger and better than before.

With the news bubbling up on social media, the team at Sankeys have announced the full line ups, plus a very special party which will take place somewhere in the UK to mark the early acid rave days.

Legendary visionary promoter and Sankeys club owner, David Vincent has announced that he’s bringing back the acid house and blaeric beat era with his new series of ‘Dance 88/89’ parties in Ibiza, plus a secret location rave held near Manchester on Easter Sunday March 27th from 5PM-5AM.

The mammoth lin-up mirrors the music programming of the earliest, most influential acid house parties, bringing back such pioneering artists as Adamski, Alfredo, Colin Dale, Evil Eddie Richards, Fabio and Grooverider, Frankie Valentine, Graeme Park, MC Kinky, Marshal Jefferson, Mr C, Nicky Holloway, Terry Farley, Trevor Fung and 808 State.

David feels that now is an important time to re-ignite the lost spirit of acid house and to tell the story of the revolution to the younger generation, many of whom he feels don’t understand where the music comes from. He said, “We now have a dance music industry that is formulaic, predictable and corporate. Back then there was no ‘industry’, there was a pure innocence about it all.  I want to take people on a timewarp, back in time and give them the chance to have an authentic acid house experience. This will be achieved not only through the music programming, which totally reflects the line-ups of the day, but also through the lighting, the decor and the whole ambience.  We are even banning taking pictures with mobile phones as no one had phones then except the promoters or yuppies!”
We know that Sankeys know how to throw a big party, especially in Manchester. Were ready for them to bring the rave scene back to 88/89.

‘Dance 88/89’ will take place every Wednesday at Sankey’s Ibiza starting on the Launch Date of May 25th and will run across the Summer with 19 parties until September 28th.
