Blackpool Rocks returns much earlier than usual in 2016, with Friday April 29th seeing a return for the Winter Gardens based event. It's already shaping up to be another electronic music extravaganza, after the Christmas edition welcomed Annie Mac, Craig David and more to the Northern coastal town.

The first name announced is Oliver Heldens (listen to his Heldeep podcast above), the Dutch house music superstar bracing himself for a very busy year having already been confirmed for a glut of festivals in 2016 already including Snowbombing, EDC and We are FSTVL.

He's recently taken charge of BBC Radio One's Residency show, whilst his smash 'Gecko' has been one of the biggest crossover hits of recent times. Blackpool Rocks tickets go on sale from Monday 22nd February at 10am.
