Southport weekender have released the first glimpse of the line up for Southport Weekender 49. Over the last few months they have been putting together the biggest DJ line up in the history of the event, bringing together the legendary DJs who have made their event so special alongside the trailblazing new talent who take the music they love to exciting new places.

It is 26 years since their first event and in the quarter century that have passed, Southport Weekender has become a globally recognised club brand with spin off festivals in Croatia and a successful compilation series to its name. The event moved to its new home in Minehead in 2011, slightly increasing its capacity but maintaining its all important vibe.

Here is the line up split up by arena, live acts will be announced in the new year.

There are a small number of tickets left for this event, which will sell out soon. You can buy them here
