Furthermore, this year we have a very special live performance by one of the world's biggest and most respected names in dance music... BT LIVE!

BT LIVE PERFORMANCE
As a DJ and producer, his tracks became club hits in Britain, routinely played by super DJs like Sasha and Paul Oakenfold for their epic qualities, which worked well as a to pack the dancefloor at clubs like Cream and Ministry of Sound. BT's reworking of "Blue Skies" by Tori Amos became a massive global club hit. He marked time between albums with high-profile production work, including chart hits from Britney Spears ("I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman") and *NSYNC ("Pop"), while a career retrospective entitled 10 Years in the Life was released in 2002. BT was also moving beyond his own musical sphere during this time by venturing into film. His live performances are energy incarnate, selling out venues world wide. Touring this time with a band of 5, this will be a rare opportunity to witness one of dance music's very best perform in an exclusive New Years setting. Expect a full on sound, visual and multi-media experience, covering all of BT's biggest hits interpreted for just such an occasion!
