Following their debut event in October last year, the Y2K Collective will return to 24 Kitchen Street with a double-header of millennium-era-inspired clubbing in Liverpool.
The collective aims to recapture the halcyon days of turn-of-the-century partying by booking DJs who defined that era while remaining influential in the modern scene.
The series begins with a summertime rave on Saturday 4 July, led by the original icons of breakbeat, The Stanton Warriors.
This will be followed on Saturday, 3 October, by a headline set from Bugged Out! resident and honorary scouser Justin Robertson.
Both events are scheduled to run from 2 pm until late, blending nostalgic sounds with updated takes from a range of support artists.
The July event marks a major return for The Stanton Warriors, supported by a lineup including General Jimmy, DJ Hatchett, Phil Bakstad, and Evs & Thompson. The afternoon-to-late format at 24 Kitchen Street is designed to recreate the high-energy atmosphere of classic millennium raves.
The Y2K Collective’s mandate focuses on booking celebrated talent alongside emerging artists who provide a modern twist on classic sets. Further acts for the summer date are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
A Tribute to the Lemon Lounge
The October event, titled “The Reunion,” features a special tribute to one of Liverpool’s gone-but-not-forgotten venues.
Alongside Justin Robertson, the show will include a “Viva La Lemon Lounge” segment featuring sets from two of the club’s icons, Steve Parry and Wandy.
This specific date is set to be a significant moment for the local electronic music community, celebrating a key part of the city’s clubbing history.
The support lineup for the October show includes General Jimmy and Evs & Thompson, with more names to be confirmed.
