This ticketed add-on event, which can be purchased from the event website (HERE), promises an unforgettable evening filled with live music, dazzling fireworks, and a mouth-watering array of food and drinks.

In addition to the main arena, this year’s Takeover is introducing the all-new Family Zone, featuring live magic and paper plane workshop, character visits from Enchanted Island, a car colouring competition, bouncy castles and carnival side stalls.

Due to poor signal and no longer having a WIFI connection, card readers are not a working option at the Takeover, with organisers announcing that this year’s event is cash only.
