Attention house heads and rave revellers: genre titans Love to Be... are back once again where they started, bringing a Street Festival to the Steel City of Sheffield and turning FORGE and the adjoining Effingham Road into the ultimate urban dance floor.

With a festival lineup that could make Ibiza jealous, the main stage sees your chance to experience the queen of electronic music, Sam Divine, alongside legendary acts like Barbara Tucker (live), Todd Terry, Adelphi Music Factory, and The Shapeshifters, and that's just on one of the four stages! Love to be... have championed house music for a generation, and with a spirit that sears hot enough to smelt steel, there's no better place to get your house kicks this summer. 

Tickets for the Love to Be... Street Festival are live on Skiddle now! Scroll down to the bottom of this page and secure your spot so as not to miss out!

 

But it’s not just about the main stage. Nostalgia lovers can dive headfirst into the Music Factory Stage, where 90s icons like K-Klass and New York’s Victor Simonelli, and Alison Limerick (performing 'Where Love Lives' live!) will transport you back to house music’s golden era.

From the inner workings of Sheffield's finest venue and courtyard - to the expansion outwards onto Effingham Road, the Street festival will feature a huge main stage, warehouse stage, workroom and VIP(Que jump/VIP toilets/VIP Bar) - all while supplying huge production, entertainers, street food, merch stalls and much more - bringing the Steel City a massive day of House music! 

Mark your calendars, dust off your best rave gear, and prepare for a day of unforgettable vibes. Love to be Street Festival is the house festival of the Sheffield summer—don’t just take our word for it. Be there, and let the music speak for itself!
