The fastest-growing UK festival Deva Fest is bringing ‘90s House, Old School Trance and Rave to a three-day dedicated dance stage.
Chester-based music promotion company Sensus will be hosting the first dance stage at Deva Fest.
The stage will be headlined by some of the biggest ‘90s household dance names, including DJ sets from K-Klass, Eric Martin from Technotronic, and Oldham band N-Trance.
Saturday night’s dance stage will be headlined with a DJ set from Oldham’s number one electronic dance act N-Trance, fresh off their 30-year anniversary tour, who will bring the nostalgia back with hits including "Set You Free" and "Turn Up the Power".
Saturday night headliner’s line-up will also include DJ sets from K-Klass, the group behind classic 90’s electronic hits such as "Rhythm is a Mystery" and "Let Me Show You" as well as the iconic remix of the Bobby Brown hit "2 Can Play That Game".
Sunday night will play host to legendary Eric Martin, a founding member of the Belgian Eurodance group Technotronic, whose number one "Pump Up the Jam" promises to transport the crowd back to the early 90s, with Friday night showcasing an unmissable ream of local and undiscovered DJs from the UK.
Adam Paul, owner of Sensus Events, said: “To be producing the Dance Stage at Deva Fest this year is incredible for us and the teams of house and dance artists we work with.
“After attending the event in 2022, it was clear Sensus could shape a line-up to fit with the ethos and audience of Deva Fest – focusing on local talent, bringing the best of dance music to Chester and transporting the audience back to the timeless classics of the 90s Dance scene.
“We are really excited to show Deva Fest what we’ve got to offer this year.”
The three-day festival, now in its third year, is being held at Cholmondeley Castle for the first time.
The festival is expected to draw in as many as 20,000 festival goers between Friday, August 11 and Sunday, August 13.
It will have live music across the different stages from midday to 11pm.
Phil Marston, founder of Deva Fest, said: “We are all really excited to have a dedicated Dance Stage at this year’s event, and having the team behind Sensus producing this is fantastic.
“Deva Fest is all about family; whether that be families attending, the local family of Chester and Cheshire or the business family across music and hospitality, it’s ingrained in everything we plan at Deva Fest.”
Ticketholders will be able to access shuttle buses from nearby cities running all weekend, as well as return weekend coach transfers from Manchester, Liverpool, Warrington, Wallasey and Crewe, in partnership with Tuned in Travel.
