[QUOTE="Jimmy Jenga, post: 823768, member: 13340"] It had to be done … before the Quad even began … we are going back to where it all started – BLACKBURN. If you remember back in the day, after the clubs shut at 2am, we would drive to Blackburn looking to find other like-minded people for a secret warehouse party. The excitement of finding the party and seeing the smiles on the faces of thousands of people already dancing to House music and having the time of their lives. Well,... the spirit of the early days is back, BOOMTOWN (Blackburn Raves) and QUADRANT PARK REUNIONS (the first LEGAL rave) come together on Saturday 9 July in Blackburn to bring you one MASSIVE event. 3 Arenas of 100% old skool classics, brought to you by the original DJs from back in the day. The people, the music, the vibe - the best nights of our lives. “It’s 2011, and it’s happening again – be part of it.” Boomtown (Blackburn) and Quadrant Park Reunions proudly present: Saturday 9 July 2011 at Warehouse 1, 41-43 King Street, Blackburn, Lancs 10pm – 4am BOOMTOWN DJs - DJ Shack - Rob Tissera QUADRANT PARK DJs - John Kelly - Andy Carroll - Mike Knowler Guest DJ's Butty & Recca - 2 of Manchester's finest old skool DJ's - usually seen at Back by Dope Demand LIVE PA: E-Zee Possee & MC Kinky performing Rave classic ‘Everything Starts with an E’ ATTRACTIONS ••••••••••••••• 2 Indoor & 1 Outdoor Arena Spread Over Grade II Listed Warehouse Complex Seperated VIP area Massive Line Up Massive Sound Systems State of the art lasers & Lighting Official WH1 Photographer Unrivalled atmosphere 5 Bars (2 Outdoor 3 Indoor) + Shot Girls 10pm - 4am Standard Entry - £8 - Tickets VIP Tickets, Available.
