A night of dance music, live orchestra and iconic vocals is gearing up for its return to Norfolk.

Classic Ibiza returns to Blickling Estate on August 1, promising its best-ever show in its 11-year history.

Lisa Ward, owner and promoter of Classic Ibiza, said: "If our rehearsals are anything to go by, Classic Ibiza this year is going to blow our Blickling crowd away.

"Because we’ve upped the orchestra to 45 musicians and extended the number of tracks featuring LCGC’s incredible vocals, the symphonic wall-of-sound coming from the stage will be on a whole new level.

"Even the 'crowd favourite' tracks, that we know our Norfolk audience love, have so much more depth – it’s like hearing them for the very first time."

The Urban Soul Orchestra (USO), DJ Krystal Roxx and the London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC) will take to the stage under the direction of conductor Stephen Hussey.

USO will perform more tracks than ever before, including eight new orchestrations.

Ms Ward said: "All the new tracks that we’re performing this year sound amazing, but for me there’s one absolute stand out.

"The strings and horns on Todd Terry’s iconic Something Goin’ On are so epic and lush, talk about kicking off the dance set in style."

Other new tracks include Röyksopp’s Eple, Leftfield’s Release The Pressure, Dennis Ferrer’s Hey Hey, and Three Drives’ Greece 2000.

Classic Ibiza debutant DJ Meera will also deliver fresh performances as part of the extended five-and-a-half-hour programme.

The Arrival Lounge Set begins at 5.30pm, followed by a Chill-Out Set with DJ Meera and USO at 6.45pm.

The Party-Starter Set begins at 7.30pm.

The Ghost Ship Sundowner Set, featuring USO, DJ Krystal Roxx and LCGC, starts at 8pm.

A Deep House Set with DJ Krystal Roxx runs at 9pm, before the main Dance Set at 9.30pm.
