BRIT AWARD NOMINATED ARTIST D.O.D HEADS TO O2 ACADEMY LEEDS JANUARY 31ST

Dance music fans, mark your calendars as the internationally acclaimed DJ, producer, and chart-topping hitmaker D.O.D is set to take over the O2 Academy Leeds on Saturday 31st January for an electrifying night of unforgettable house music, joined by rising stars Hitty and Sasha GiGi.

With a career spanning over a decade, D.O.D has become a defining force in modern dance music. Known for his unmistakable UK rooted house sound, D.O.D has delivered a string of massive records including the BRIT nominated smash Someday with Sonny Fodera and Jazzy (UK Official Top 40 #5), So Much In Love (Top 20), and the global anthem Still Sleepless. Accumulating over 500 million streams, multiple Beatport #1s, and a coveted #1 on the Official Dance Singles Chart, his reputation as one of the scene’s most exciting artists is firmly cemented.

From Tomorrowland to Creamfields and The Warehouse Project to Ultra, D.O.D has captivated audiences worldwide. Now, Leeds will get its own taste of the action.

Supporting D.O.D is Hitty, the London-based producer and DJ carving out his own lane with genre-bending sets rooted in hip hop, dancehall, and raw UK energy. Known for his signature gloves and immersive events HITTY-X and GLOVE SEAZON, Hitty delivers high-octane performances that fuse visual art with rhythmic precision.

Opening the night is Sasha GiGi, the Londoner with Scottish roots whose musical journey has taken her from Bristol's underground scene to the iconic stages of Hi Ibiza and San Francisco. With her debut EP ‘Sugardaddy’ on Edible Records, Sasha is fast becoming one of the UK’s most promising new electronic talents.

This is set to be a sell out event and a night of soaring melodies, bass-heavy rhythms, and next-level production that no dance music lover should miss.

Get ready for colour, chaos and confetti as elrow, the world’s most iconic and theatrical electronic music brand, is making its Cologne debut at none other than Bootshaus, which is ranked among the Top 10 clubs in the world by DJ Mag.

On Friday, 12 December 2025, Bootshaus will be transformed into an immersive, larger-than-life world of sound and spectacle as elrow takes over for a night that promises to be one of the most talked-about events of the year.

Bringing its ‘Themed Electronic Wonderland’ concept to Cologne for the very first time, elrow will unleash its signature mix of outrageous production, theatrical performers, immersive décor and relentless energy, backed by a heavyweight lineup of global house and techno talent. 

Leading the lineup, Andrea Oliva brings his trademark blend of rolling house grooves and Ibiza-honed energy. Rising German talent Discip delivers his raw, percussive techno sound that’s been igniting dance floors across Europe, while UK favourite Latmun brings his infectious tech-house rhythm and playful dance floor edge. Local standout Nic Lorenz adds a dose of precision and high-octane selections, while Tini Gessler, a key name in the elrow family, brings her vibrant, melodic take on house and techno to embody the brand’s colourful spirit.

They’re joined by Enchanted, Foret, Antipolar, Kaufmann, Kevin Arnold, O'Doyle, Nicole Da Silva, Tolstoi, and Unxpected, rounding out a lineup that perfectly captures the high-energy, kaleidoscopic essence of elrow.

From the main room to the open-air spaces, every corner of Bootshaus will be reimagined in full elrow style - think wild costumes, characters roaming the dance floor and a storm of colour and confetti raining down to the beat of pulsating house and techno.

Says the Bootshaus team “We’re beyond excited to host elrow’s first-ever show in Cologne. This collaboration brings together two strong international brands that both stand for creativity, energy, and a deep passion for electronic music.”

Founded in Barcelona, elrow has grown into a global nightlife phenomenon, staging sold-out events across more than 80 cities and major festivals including Tomorrowland, Amnesia Ibiza and Fabrik Madrid. Its arrival at Bootshaus marks a milestone moment for Cologne’s underground scene and is a rare fusion of two powerhouse brands united by their commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering unforgettable experiences.

The walls are set to shake and the earth will rumble once more as Terminal V Festival returns to Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Centre & Showground on 18th and 19th April 2026. Marking another chapter for one of Europe’s most formidable electronic events, next year's event will unfold across two epic days, with 40,000 ravers and five fully immersive stages headlined by over 100 cutting-edge artists for a weekend of unrelenting energy and precision production.

Simon McGrath, Co-founder of Terminal V says “This will without doubt be our biggest line up yet. Every artist reflects the energy and evolution of Terminal V, and this April will see our most diverse edition yet. 2026 is shaping up to be our most powerful edition so far.”

The 2026 lineup is a razor-sharp snapshot of contemporary electronic music and collision of heavyweights, legends, disruptors and future icons of techno. Set to perform are the likes of Detroit godfather Robert Hood whose loopy sound helped characterise early minimal and remains in a class of its own. 

The raucous Sara Landry presents the UK debut of her ETERNALISM show and her only Scottish appearance all year. It is a hard techno odyssey with high-octane beats and avant-garde production inspired by the otherworldly art of Hans Ruedi Giger's Alien creation. The aim is to create a spiritual gathering that transcends the typical club experience. Klangkuenstler is one of the defining forces in the new wave of industrial techno and his sets are pure adrenaline hits built for the warehouse, while the UK’s breakout house and techno star Ben Hemsley blends euphoric melodies, emotional drops and peak-time power for the new generation, and Australian REVIVE RECORDS founder Restricted will also serve up his unrelenting mix of psy, rawstyle, industrial, hardcore and more after amassing half a billion streams and becoming a fixture in Beatport’s Hardcore/Neo Rave charts. 

They’re joined by underground stars across house, techno and bass such as Mall Grab, Anetha x DJ Gigola, Clara Cuvé, East End Dubs, Somewhen x Otta, Paige Tomlinson and many more with each bringing their distinct edge to the festival’s next evolution.

Built from the ground up for sheer sonic intensity, Terminal V has a deserving reputation for monumental scale and meticulous attention to detail. Every stage is designed as a standalone world with bespoke architecture, high-impact visuals and chest-rattling sound for a sensory overload built for those who live and breathe dance music.

Again ranked in DJ Mag’s Best Festivals in the world this year, Terminal V’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. What began as an underground gathering has evolved into a benchmark for large-scale electronic rapture, which is why it attracts a devoted international crowd who return year after year.

From daylight euphoria to warehouse darkness, Terminal V captures the full spectrum of modern electronic music in one communal surge of sound and light.
