6 stages, 6 venues, over 2,000 ravers – Sheffield’s biggest day & night party is back!
Skyline is the muti-site bank holiday party taking over Neepsend and Kelham Island on April 9th, bringing with it a diverse set of genres and immersive parties held across Sheffield’s coolest district.
After five sold-out events in 2022, organisers are taking the event to a new level and will be bringing the big vibes to Peddler Warehouse, Factory Floor, Parrot Club, Yellow Arch, Happy’s and Alder on Easter Sunday.
Event organiser Phil McCue told Exposed: ““When we launched Skyline in April last year, we couldn’t have imagined how quickly it would evolve and just how much people would get behind it. It’s been amazing to see!”
Due to unprecedented demand, this year sees Skyline pulling together its biggest instalment yet with festival-level standards of production including state-of-the-art lighting, mind-blowing soundsystems and some of the finest musical talent in the city on the decks.
Phil continued: “This year’s event is a real testament to the incredible local talent we have here in Sheffield, which continues to be the backbone of our DJ line-ups for every event.”
Festival-goers will be able to collect wristbands from 2:30pm at Peddler Warehouse, and from then on they get free roam of all events taking place across the venues – right through to the afterparties lasting until 4am in the morning.
Peddler Warehouse will be something of a focal point for proceedings, hosting some of the finest selectors in the UK on the main stage from 3pm-11pm, including headlines sets from Finn Eden, Gamble and Joe Fenwick. The warehouse venue will be receiving a special makeover as the world-class decor company behind Creamfields, Parklife and Boomtown transform the space into a veritable rave shrine. Pop next door and you’ll find the second stage at Factory Floor, where they’ll be putting their state-of-the-art audio system to use with DJ sets and dancing right through ‘til the wee hours.
Sticking with Burton Road and late-night cocktail joint Parrot Club will be playing hip-hop and RnB bangers from 2pm-3am, while their recently arrived neighbours Happy’s are cooking up a mouth-watering feast combining an all-day BBQ with all manner of tunes up until 4am.
You can expect old-school vinyl sessions in the spacious courtyard at Alder from 12pm-1am, and last but by no means least, iconic music venue Yellow Arch will be pumping out Ocean Beach classics and Ibiza anthems from 8pm-3am.
Speaking of the preparations leading up to the event, fellow organiser Simon Tomlinson said: “Neepsend and Kelham Island are home to some brilliant independent venues which have made hugely significant contributions to the musical history of Sheffield and beyond.
The opportunity to work alongside them and welcome thousands of people to the showcase of Neepsend is a massive privilege and we can’t wait to show everyone what we have in store for 2023.”
