FAC51 The Hacienda Open Air

FAC51 The Hacienda returns to exciting the Leeds City Centre open-air venue, Canvas Yard, for the second year running, on Sunday 5th May - the first Bank Holiday of 2024. 

Heading up the DJ line-up is Louie Vega. A leader in global dance music, Louie Vega has painted an award-winning career from a palette mixed with everything from house, salsa and afro-beat, to jazz, hip hop, gospel and soul. 

What distinguishes the Grammy winner and 7-time nominee as one of the best living house music deejays is his ability to evolve alongside the times and is still the leader of the current musical landscape through his unique taste and put his own timeless spin on all the music he creates.

Alongside Louie, long standing friend andGrammy award-winning record producer isDavid Morales. A native New Yorker, Morales was one of the first superstar DJs to actively tour the world having played every noteworthy club in the world including the original Hacienda Club on Whitworth Street, Manchester. Having them both play together in Leeds is very special for the city and a first.

Todd Terry returns from last year’s successful event having a long standing relationship with The Hacienda, alongside Dave Lee JN (“Joey Negro”) making his Hacienda debut of recent times who will play an exclusive house and garage set especially for this event whilst residents, Graeme Park, DJ Paulette, K-Klass, Jon Dasilva, Tom Wainwright along with Soak DJ’s Ralph Lawson and Marshall complete the line-up.
