A new chapter unfolds for Harrogate as the Love to be... Festival descends onto The Stray next September. From the heart of New York to the roots of Chicago house, an international lineup prepares to ignite the town’s open green.

Renowned selector Armand Van Helden is set to carve out a journey through classic floorfillers and subterranean rhythms, joined by the pioneering touch of Marshall Jefferson—one of house music’s true architects. The Shapeshifters bring their hallmark fusion of disco and groove, while Carly Wilford injects a raw dose of upfront energy primed for late-summer sessions. Ultra Naté’s iconic vocals promise sunset anthems and transcendental moments, as Trimtone underpins the afternoon with deep, rolling selections.

Dance music stalwarts K-Klass round out the bill, promising a soundtrack that threads nostalgia with the crisp edge of modern club culture. More than a gathering, the Love to be... Festival aims to awaken Harrogate’s dance spirit—laying out a space where the city’s historic gardens pulse with the energy of a global movement.

Expect a day where barriers dissolve and the collective beat takes over, as north meets south and heritage blends with future sounds. Save the date for a late-summer session driven by legends and boundary-pushers, right in the heart of Yorkshire.
