Worldwide hits producer Ian Van Dahl stars in live DJ night in Chesterfield

Ian Van Dahl took the world by storm in the early Noughties with Castles in the Sky, which became one of the most popular dance era tracks of its time, followed by Will I which also hit top five in the UK charts.

The iconic outfit teams up with MC Genie to headline at The Loop on Corporation Street, Chesterfield on August 17, 2024.

DJs Ash Brimelow (Chesterfield), Dave Worthy (In Demand Radio Liverpool), Stompin Tom & MC Sniper (Chesterfield) and Lee Grafton (Barnsley) are among the line-up for The Shakedown event.

Ash Brimelow, who has supported artists such as Judge Jules and Howard Donald in Matlock, said: “Ian Van Dahl is the first of many star acts we plan to bring to Chesterfield.”

Chesterfield-born Ash and Lee Grafton have teamed up with business owner Kelly Bullimore in a drive to boost the town’s nightlife. Ash recalls in his younger days how busy Chesterfield was at weekends when he would make a 300-mile round trip to town for a night out.
