This Saturday, Detroit Swindle will be bringing their own party imprint The Great Escape to Mint Club in Leeds. It will be the first time that the intriguing event has been hosted outside of the famous Amsterdam located club — Studio 80.

Mint Festival is back for a third year, this time taking over the Lincolnshire Showground on Saturday 20^th September.

With the new location enabling Leeds-based Mint to host a larger array of stalls and facilities, plus a camping area, the festival promises to be bigger and better than ever!

Cocoon head honcho Sven Väth is once again bringing his team of techno heavyweights to Leeds this summer for the sixth annual Cocoon In The Park mini-festival.

Over the past 12 months or so, Leeds' Canal Mills has carved out a reputation as one of the leading warehouse spaces in a city with no shortage of them.
