Utah Saints announce full line-up for Club Classical Ibiza Show – Rozalla and Shades Of Rhythm join the bill

6th February 2026

Leeds’ electronic music pioneers Utah Saints recently announced they have curated a headline Ibiza-inspired outdoor summer dance party in Leeds next year, as Club Classical Ibiza taking over Leeds Millennium Square on Friday 26 June 2026.

The one-night event promises a plethora of Ibiza classics from the duo, performing before the 50-piece Symphony Orchestra of Opera North. Together, they will deliver a non-stop programme of iconic 90s dance anthems and club classics, including performances from special guest vocalist Janice Robinson (from Livin’ Joy), alongside a powerful ensemble of backing vocalists and additional special guests, including Rozalla and Shades Of Rhythm, who are announced today.

Rozalla, best known for her global dance anthem Everybody’s Free (To Feel Good), will perform live with the orchestra, giving her iconic hits a fresh orchestral twist. Likewise, UK rave legends Shades Of Rhythm will showcase their classic tracks, blending hardcore beats and euphoric rhythms with orchestral arrangements for the very first time in Leeds, promising a unique fusion of live electronic and classical sounds.

Recognised for their long standing influence on the UK dance and club scene, Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt of Utah Saints have continued DJing, remixing, and releasing music while maintaining a strong presence in UK club culture and festivals.

Having previously performed twice alongside the Orchestra of Opera North, this is the first time the duo will present their own spin on the Club vs Classical phenomenon, showcasing both their DJing heritage and orchestral interpretations of their early-90s singles Something Good and What Can You Do For Me.

Utah Saints said:

“We’re really excited to bring this show back to Leeds. We’ve played with the Orchestra of Opera North before and it’s always an incredible experience, but being able to curate our own full summer event in our hometown makes it even more special. Leeds has been at the heart of everything we’ve done, and we can’t wait to share this huge night of dance music and orchestral power with everyone.”

Joining Utah Saints on the bill as resident DJ is Leeds-based radio presenter, DJ, and record producer Andi Durrant, co-founder and chief librarian of The Dance Music Archive, a multi-media digital platform celebrating the rich history of dance and electronic music. Through his long-running work as a dance radio show presenter, Andi has helped champion classic dance and electronic music to a new generation of listeners.

The event also marks the return of dance music royalty Janice Robinson, who will deliver a powerful orchestral rendition of her Livin’ Joy classic Dreamer. She says:

“I am thrilled to be returning to the stage with the incredible Opera North! The way Cliff and Steve arranged Dreamer is simply breathtaking. I can’t wait for next summer’s performance; it’s going to be unforgettable.”

Club Classical Ibiza is the latest collaboration between Leeds City Council, Opera North, and the producers of 80s Classical, which takes place the following evening on Millennium Square. Musical arrangements are by renowned composer and arranger Cliff Masterson (whose credits include Ella Henderson and Labrinth), with Steve Anderson as Musical Director, known as one half of Brothers in Rhythm and for his work as Musical Director for Kylie Minogue.

Cliff Masterson said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be working closely with Jez and Tim from Utah Saints alongside the Orchestra of Opera North to create yet another fresh and thrilling show in Millennium Square.”

Steve Anderson added:

“The existing structure of dance music provides such a great platform where we can recreate and amplify the existing scores for the orchestra, adding a truly epic dimension to how they are performed live.”
