Following the sell-out success of its debut festival last summer, Flashback Festival is making its return to Manchester this May.
The music event will celebrate all things 90s and 00s, bringing together some of the biggest names in dance music – and it’s just revealed the first wave of its seriously nostalgic line-up.
Fatman Scoop, the legendary rapper behind massive song Be Faithful, will be headlining the outdoor main stage at Platt Fields Park this May.
Also bringing the old school anthems to the Flashback Festival main stage will be Artful Dodger, D:Ream, and Sweet Female Attitude.
Elsewhere on the festival site, the Clubland Big Top stage will be back celebrating the golden age of dance music – artists already announced there are DJ Sammy live, Ultrabeat, Flip n Fill, Milk Inc Live (Linda Mertens).
