Following the massive energy of their 2025 Ibiza showcase, Pilgrim is stripping things back to the foundations of the UK house scene with ‘Four To The Floor’ featuring Jim ‘Shaft’ Ryan.

This summer, Newcastle’s Pilgrim will transform into a sanctuary for house purists, celebrating the legendary sounds of icons like The Hacienda, Ministry of Sound and Tall Trees. What’s more, the night is headlined by a true pioneer: Jim ‘Shaft’ Ryan. As the visionary behind Miss Moneypenny’s and Chuff-Chuff, Ryan brings a level of prestige that few can match. He’s joined by DJ Sista Paula, whose set will be elevated by live percussion, and DJ Benny Young, promising a seamless journey through the halcyon days of clubland. And – in a unique cultural crossover – the venue will also host an exclusive exhibition by international artist Davey Brown, titled ‘The Queens of House & Soul’.

Four To The Floor, Friday 19 June, Pilgrim, Newcastle, 7.30pm, £10, pilgrimncl.music
