10 years ago, and the name 'Compulsion' was synonymous with one of the biggest and most spectacular multi-arena dance events in the UK.

Held at former leisure complex and legendary rave venue Bowlers, Compulsion was a monthly event that brought 4000 clubbers together to party hard to resident DJs John Waddiker, Kenny Grogan & Bowa, as well as a host of big name guest DJs.

10 years after the historic Compulsion/Helter Skelter party in 2001 – which was the last ever rave event held at Bowlers - we are very pleased to announce that Compulsion is back.

On May 28th 2011, the genuine article will return to its home with its biggest night and line-up to date. Darren Styles, Re-Con & Demand, DJ Sy, Squad E, Hixxy, Scott Brown and Al Storm will be taking care of things in the Innovation Arena, while elsewhere you’ll find the likes of Bowlers legend Welly, Tuneboy, Mark XTC and Paul Taylor going in hard on the decks.

With four dance arenas, spectacular lighting and laser displays, visual projections and an outdoor area with fairground rides, Compulsion The Return will be more than worth the decade long wait.

Tickets for this event are  unsurprisingly selling FAST, so to seal your place at the ultimate homecoming, get your ticket below.
