A spokesman said: “Hot on the heels of its spectacular Bank Holiday event last Sunday, Pier Jam is delighted to announce the second instalment of its summer long series.

“Returning to the iconic Blackpool North Pier, Pier Jam welcomes big hitters Gorgon City, Shadowchild, Bugzy Malone, Mistajam, Redlight, Sonny Fodera, Josh Butler and Son of 8 to the bill across the outdoor stages, delivering cuts of quality house, bass and garage music.

“Stretching out to sea on the 500m-long pier, Pier Jam has a vibe that’s unmatchable for miles around and is not to be missed.

“Galloping through its third year of throwing board-shaking parties, Pier Jam will once again welcome 4,000 party people to cut loose under a warm sun in the open air, right by the sea.

“Known for their killer sound systems and always on-point bookings, these now famous all-day parties are nothing less than awe inspiring affairs, set against the stunning backdrop of the world famous Blackpool Tower.

“From Basement Jaxx to DJ E.Z and MK to Amine Edge & DANCE, Pier Jam stages big names and even bigger tunes.”

Leading the proceedings for July will be chart-topping crossover star Gorgon City, with hits including Go All Night and Zoom Zoom sure to get the boardwalk bouncing.

Pier Jam favourite Shadowchild also promises to bring ‘the big booty shaking drums and rib-rattling synth lines that have made him a Dirtybird and Edible favourite’ to town.
