Northern Pride announces Ministry of Sound as first big name for July festival

Dance music brand Ministry of Sound has been revealed as the first act on this summer's Northern Pride line-up, promising to bring a blast of Ibiza to Newcastle.

The dance and house music club name is set to draw big crowds during the festival which will play out on the Town Moor over the July 22-23 weekend. And the top DJs taking to the stage for its big 90-minute set, which will be the closing on the Saturday night, will be Smokin Jo and Seamus Haji.

Smokin Jo, who has gigged across the world in countries including Japan, Brazil, Greece, Singapore and the US, is the only female ever to be given the number one DJ in the world award. She has been a regular at top clubs in Ibiza, where she still has a residency, and at Fabric in London.
