One of the world’s biggest club brands, Gatecrasher is gearing up to celebrate its milestone 15^th Birthday. Returning to its spiritual home in Sheffield on the 20^th of September, Gatecrasher is preparing to ‘blow the roof off’ the Carling Academy in true birthday fashion. With a colossal line-up including, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Sied Van Riel and DJ Remy, Crasher is set to commemorate 15 years of dance-floor dominance.

From humble beginnings to a world-conquering global club brand, Gatecrasher has continued to push boundaries and dominate dance music for 15 years. It’s reputation as a flamboyant, individual and hedonistic brand continues to grow and the Gatecrasher name remains emblazoned in the heart and soul of clubbers throughout the world.

The Gatecrasher lion has always sat proudly at the forefront of clubland, responsible of some of the most awe-inspiring, never-to- be- forgotten events."2000GC" Millennium Eve event at the Don Valley Stadium, road blocked events at the NEC and Summer Sound System are amongst the greatest events in club-history – "We are 15" will be the next. Combine 15 years of production know-how, 15 years of promoting parties and 15 years of working with the best DJs around and you’ve got the party of all parties!

Kicking off the celebrating in style in theCrasher arena is Dutch party starter and world number one, Armin Van Buuren. By now notorious for his euphoria induced sets, Armin’s worldwide appeal continues to thrive. But despite his mythical status, Armin remains grounded about his achievements and clearly loves producing and playing music above the accolades it brings. After his roadblock GatecrasherLovesNottingham gig, Armin will no doubt pull out all the stops for this birthday bash.

Certain to shake the foundations with some Dutch dynamite, Ferry Corsten returns following his hugely successful mix cd for Gatecrasher. Always a welcome addition to any line-up, his Crasher performances over the years have been legendary in every sense of the word. Also from Holland, making his Crasher debut is Tiesto protégé, Sied Van Riel. Having toured globally with Tiesto, the Dutchman is tipped for big things. With an arsenal of fine quality trance productions, Sied Van Riel is making huge waves in the industry and is set to make a massive impact on the scene. Completing the Crasher arena, DJ Remy is another debut who is hotly anticipated. Widely respected for his diverse musical selection, he blends tech, prog and trance into the mix. Certain to crank the birthday into gear, DJ Remy will ignite the celebrations in style.

Room 2 is hosted by Electrik Playground - Riley & Durrant’s new night which has been gathering momentum in Leeds and tours this summer at Tiesto’s Privledge night in Ibiza. Electrik Playground’s resident, Adam Sheridan will be bringing his box of bleepy, electro tech filth for an excursion away from his usual tech trance sound. With Hauswerks and Mark Maitland on hand to bring their special breed of underground toxicity, room 2 is set to go off with a bang.
