Where: The Lofts in Newcastle Upon Tyne

Delving into the deeper side of electronic music, Fridays at Newcastle's high-flying club, The Lofts, are the night to get lost in the music, and hear some of the very best in the Underground House, Minimal and Techno scene. For their special Good Friday event, the toon-based team are treating lucky punters to a special night from the tech house legends that are Solardo.

From playing for the biggest crowds at the most epic of festivals like Glastonbury, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival Miami & Creamfields to some of the world's renowned clubs, Solardo adapts to whichever crowd is put in front of them. This time around, however, you'll see them in a much more intimate space, and we can only dream about how excellent the vibes electrifying the place will be.
