‘Needed for a long time’ - World-renowned trance artists set to take over a South Shields venue
World-renowned trance DJs are coming to South Shields.
Two of the world’s top DJs are heading to South Shields as part of a ‘Trance Takeover’ this May bank holiday weekend.
Conner Boyle, a South Shields-based trance producer and DJ, is working alongside Viva At The Venue, on Stanhope Street, to bring the event to the town on Sunday, May 3.


The event is also looking to showcase local artists by giving them a platform to perform alongside the world-renowned DJs.
Conner is among those on the line up to play a set alongside other local North East artists including such as DKH and Johnas.
Speaking previously to the Gazette, Conner said: “This event is something the town has needed for a long time.
“South Shields hasn’t always had the platform for nights like this in recent years, so bringing an event of this scale to the town feels important.
“Having artists like Lange, an icon of the global trance scene, and Will Rees, one of the most exciting modern names in the genre, shows what’s possible and can reignite the nightlife here.
“This show is the first of many, and the new owners at Viva have a fantastic ethos of providing opportunities for local up and coming artists too, giving them a platform to perform.
“It’s something everyone can look forward to and get behind”.
