Leeds O2 Arena is set to be transformed beyond recognition when trippy part series Foreverland returns to the city this October.

Known for transforming dance floors into surreal, neon mazes, think Day-Glo flora, tropical palms, gigantic installations – and you’re part way to imagining what’s in store.

First launching in Bournemouth in 2004, Foreverland has been throwing its famously bizarre parties in locations around the world for the past seven years.

To date, they’ve sold 130,000 tickets to parties in 26 different cities. After a year off, they’ve had ample time to imagine their perfect party – and it looks set to be a mad one.

This October’s event in Leeds will feature interactive walkabout characters, giant hanging inflatables suspended from the ceiling, CO2 jets, sparks and confetti explosions, trippy neon-themed decorations and even psychedelic dip painting.

Organisers will also be working with a range of new scents to create an all-encompassing sensory experience for the first time ever.

On the music front, House and bass-heavy tech are the order of the day.

Headline sets come from James Hype, Low Steppa, Weiss, Secondcity and Endor. All boast recent successes on labels like Defected, Top 10 UK chart placings, millions of Spotify streams and diaries taking in the likes of Abode and Elrow.

The resident team, meanwhile, features rising UK talents AmyElle, Tita Lau and Ben Rainey.

A spokesperson for Foreverland said: “We’re putting a focus on the whole sensory experience, adding themed smells to the venues to differentiate Foreverland shows from all other experiences revelers might have had.

“We’re incorporating a lot more technology into the stage builds and SFX, using holographic projections, water pumps and moving levers to add motion to parts of the decor build.”
