Famed and flamed Sheffield superclub Gatecrasher has come out with details of a new, fully-formed festival for early summer.

Scheduled to take place over the May Bank Holiday (24th - 25th) Summer Sound System aims to celebrate 20 years of acid house, which is presumably why they’ve booked the Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and Dizzee Rascal to headline the thing.

Hoping to attract a crowd of 60,000, the event takes place in 20 arenas, with 200 DJs and 20 live acts looking to perform at Turweston Aerodrome in Northamptonshire. Details:

The Prodigy
Chemical Brothers
Dizzee Rascal

Soulwax Nite Versions
Simian Mobile Disco

More acts are set to be announced in the coming weeks.
