Franky say: “Come and watch me take the roof off Digital in Newcastle in early May.” We say: “Listen to Franky – that’s Franky Rizardo to you.”

There are many good things that have come of the Netherlands including tulips, cheese and that mad boy who stuck his finger in a dyke. And now we have Franky Rizardo. This fella has established himself as a name renowned across the globe and he’s synonymous with driving music that operates in that sweet spot somewhere between techno and house. He’s a regular in Ibiza with the ANTS, Music On and Elrow camps, and he’s also graced the decks at the likes of Fabric (London), Shelter (Amsterdam), Amnesia (Ibiza) and Sound (Los Angeles). So get on board with one of electronic music’s most dynamic forces when he romps into Newcastle in early May.

Franky Rizardo, Sunday 3 May, Digital, Newcastle, 10pm-4am, from £22, yourfutureisdigital.com
