An outdoor concert celebrating three decades of Ibiza anthems is set to be held at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.
Called the Ibiza Symphonica, the event will feature singers Heather Small, Rebecca Ferguson and Alison Limerick as well as a guest appearance from BBC Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills.
The one-night concert on Saturday, August 15, will bring together world class vocalists and a full live orchestra for an evening celebrating the most loved Ibiza anthems.
The event, which is a collaboration between Sound & White and The Great Yorkshire Events Centre, will be the first outdoor music concert held at the Great Yorkshire Showground since Sir Elton John played in 2012.

Freddy White, founder of Yorkshire based company Sound & White and lead promoter of Ibiza Symphonica, said:
After more than 20 years working across the hospitality and entertainment industries and as someone who is now lucky enough to call Harrogate home, I am incredibly proud to be bringing something of this scale to the town.
Graham Thompson, commercial director at the Yorkshire Events Centre, said:
The Main Ring is an incredible setting and we have been working with the producers of Ibiza Symphonica for this carefully curated and locally delivered event which is an exciting new event for us to host.
Profits from events held at the Showground will go to the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS), the charity which organises the Great Yorkshire Show and supports farming, food and the countryside throughout the year.
A portion of ticket sales will also be donated to two local charitable organisations: the David Brown Foundation, a Harrogate and Yorkshire-based youth and education charity, and Harrogate Theatre Trust, supporting the continued delivery of arts and creative activity within the town.
Tickets will be limited to an 8,000 capacity and the event will run from 6pm to 10:30pm.
Tickets for Ibiza Symphonica will start from £45, with an exclusive pre-sale starting at 10am on Thursday, March 19, on the Ibiza Symphonica website.
General sale will start at 10am on Friday, March 20, online from Harrogate Theatre or in person from the Harrogate Theatre Box Office.
