The Line-up
Professor Green has seen top 10 success with Just Be Good To Me, UK number 1 Read All About It and many more. This year he will be headlining Grad Ball 2017 in the Tower Ball Room
One of the UK’s biggest pop acts, with 4 number 1 singles and 5 top albums, S Club 7 have reunited as a 3 piece with lead singers Jo Omeara, Bradley Mcintosh & Tina Barrett and will be taking over the stage at Grad Ball as S Club 3.
Over the last few years Danny Howard has ascended up the ranks to become one of the UK’s most prominent dance music advocates. As well as a constant flow of gigs around the globe, the Blackpool-born selector pulls in 1.8million listeners every weekend with his ‘Dance Anthems’ show on Radio 1, together with a weekly appearance on America’s SiriusXM and his own Nothing Else Matters online mix show. A DJ, producer, label owner and renowned tastemaker, Danny stands in a class of his own and represents the very best that the UK has to offer.
After winning Radio 1’s talent search in 2011, Danny swiftly assembled a multi-faceted empire, which revolves around his resolute passion for house music.
Student acts, Atlas, Jonathan Doyle, Jonathan Parks and Evie Plumb and Marco Tamimi will be joining us at the tower and Ruby Beach will be opening the main stage in the Ball Room. Sugarhouse DJ Jack Sprigg is set to return to the Grad Ball stage this year after his epic set in 2016.

THE VENUE
The Ball this year will be held at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Blackpool Tower is an amazing Grade 1 listed building which opened in 1894. The elegant Tower Ballroom, which has hosted BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, provides a suitably grand setting for the main entertainments at this year’s ball.
“100% worth the money. Great event in such a prestigious venue.”
More to look forward to
Before the Ball gets into full swing, your ticket also includes chance to enjoy a stunning performance from Blackpool Tower’s famous circus – with astonishing acrobats, daredevil feats and, of course, the clowns!
Take a trip to the top of the tower for stunning views across the sea where there will be more live music from student bands and photo opportunities thanks to Lancaster University Alumni team!
“Beautiful venue, loved the circus overall great event!”
