Lush! Classical is coming live to your home this weekend

Whilst we are still dreaming of being back in a packed arena or nightclub, the clubbing experience is coming to your living room this weekend.

BBC Northern Ireland have teamed up with LUSH! Classical to bring an eclectic mix of classic dance tracks to your home dancefloors.

LUSH! Classical captures the highlights from the 2019 concert held at the SSE Arena in Belfast so you can relive that night all over again from the comfort of your home.

This unique event features the Ulster Orchestra accompanied by world-renowned DJs and live vocalists, performing a bespoke set of classic dance tracks.

The popular dance music event will evoke nostaligic memories for many particularly after this week when the iconic LUSH! nightclub in Kelly's Portrush announced they were closing their doors after 25 years.

In a statement they said: "Due to an ever changing nightlclub culture, not to mention a global pandemic,  today we call time on the 'bricks and mortar' nightclub and announce the evolution of LUSH! from its Portrush home to a LUSH! touring events company."

They added that plans were already in full-flow to host another LUSH! Classical event at SSE Arena in October 2021 with the Ulster Orchestra as well as other LUSH! events at various nightclubs and locations across Northern Ireland.

LUSH! Classical is on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 9pm on Saturday 3 April and will be available on BBC iPlayer.
