Pete Tong brings his classic rave to the Riverside

PETE Tong is taking the Heritage Orchestra and their Ibiza Classics show to County Durham for a huge open-air gig.

The show, at Chester-le-Street’s Emirates Riverside on Friday, July 26, follows a sold-out tour, which included a date at Newcastle Arena, and two at London’s O2.

Tong, famed as the voice of Radio 1’s dance programming, will once again team up with conductor Jules Buckley and a 65-piece Heritage Orchestra for the brand new production.

“Ibiza Classics has got bigger and better each year,” says Tong.

“2019 is no exception. Expect a bigger production, more special guests and some of the best tracks to come out of Ibiza in the past 20 years.”

The show takes some of the biggest dance floor fillers and classics from the Balearic island, and reinvents them with an orchestral sound, conducted by Jules Buckley.

SSD Concerts’ Steve Davis continues: “This is a massive coup for the region and for Durham.

“Pete Tong has been a legend of the electronic scene for decades now and this is going to be an outdoor show like no other.

“Tickets are going to go fast for this one so we recommend getting in there early.”
