Flip n Fill, Micky Modelle and more to play socially-distanced Clubland gig in Sunderland

Clubland Back 2 School will take place at Rainton Arena on Friday, September 25, 2020, from 3pm to 9pm.

Clubbers will be given their own designated areas, which are available in groups of four and six, in the grounds of the arena.

Top of the bill is Clubland favourite Flip n Fill, famed for hits Shooting Star and True Love Never Dies, as well as Micky Modelle, behind Clubland anthem Dancing In The Dark, alongside bounce star Jon Neal and makina hero Movin.

There will be local support from Jon Fazak and Joey G at the event which is hosted by Keyes and Korkie.

Karen Seafield, who is helping to market the event, said: “The hospitality industry across the UK and Ibiza for events has been massively affected, so it’s great to have a socially-distanced event come together in our city after hundreds events have had to be halted.”

To adapt to new social distancing rules, Rainton Arena has created an outdoor arena in its grounds. It’s already hosted performances including Smoove and Turrell and Dance Icons featuring Tall Paul and Dave Pearce.

Jay Johal, who owns the arena, said: “Venues are having to adapt this summer and we are lucky to have such a huge space which gives us the freedom to create a really exciting event without compromising anyone’s safety.”

*Tickets for Clubland are £20 per person, and are sold in social bubbles of up to 4 & 6. They’re available from Skiddle.
