Longstanding house music brand, Love to be... returns to Liverpool on Friday 24th October for a huge day-into-night takeover at Liverpool Arts Club. Over two rooms, the event brings together Defected favourite Sam Divine headlining the Theatre alongside Trimtone, Liverpool’s own Dom Townsend and more. While heading up the Loft in the 360-DJ booth is the red-hot, in-demand DJ-producer, Beave, Cash Only and even more quality talent. This is the only Liverpool date of 2026 from one of the UK’s most enduring club brands. Earlybird tickets are now on sale from £19 plus fees from Skiddle.
Following the brand’s last Liverpool showcase at Camp & Furnace during its 30 Years Of House celebrations in 2024, Love to be… heads back to the city with a lineup that reflects both its heritage and continued connection to the modern house landscape. While summer isn’t over yet, it’s never too early to start planning a big autumn blow-out.
Leading the bill in the Theatre is Defected Records mainstay, Sam Divine. As one of the most recognisable names in global house music, Sam has built an unwavering following, appearing at major events EXIT Festival, Tomorrowland and Ushuaïa Ibiza, featuring on the front cover of DJ Mag and winning Best House DJ at the Ibiza DJ Awards.
Joining her and representing the foundations of Love to be is Trimtone, aka Love to be co-founder Tony Walker and Director Marc Dennis. As the driving force behind Love to be’s international success, record label and global syndicated radio show reaching seven million people each week, their influence on UK house culture continues to span more than three decades.
Completing the Theatre lineup are Liverpool’s very own Dom Townsend who has been seen tearing it up in Ibiza this summer with appearances at Club Chinos and Hï Ibiza; and one of the city’s standout rising selectors, Jade Edwards, having already appeared at major UK festivals including Baltic Weekender and Creamfields.
Taking over the Loft at Arts Club is one of the hottest producers around right now, Beave. His tracks are being dropped all over dancefloors this summer by heavyweights Rossi, Luke Dean, Josh Baker and Chris Stussy. The guy is blowing up big time! He’s joined by the international electronic artist Cash Only, who’ll bring house music with high-octane attitude and zero compromise, along with a wealth of rising talent in Maddison Reid, Keexx and Nick Bourne.
Set inside the intimate surroundings of Liverpool Arts Club, the event promises a full-scale club experience with powerful sound, immersive production and the unmistakable atmosphere that has defined Love to be for more than 30 years.
Since launching in Sheffield’s legendary Music Factory in 1994, Love to be has welcomed the biggest names in dance music history, including Frankie Knuckles, Masters At Work, Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Armand Van Helden and Basement Jaxx. Now merging that same legendary talent with modern contemporaries like Sonny Fodera, Adelphi Music Factory, Claptone and Paul Woolford, Love to be... bridges generations on the dancefloor while staying rooted in the music and culture that built its legacy.
Whether a long-time Love to be house head or joining the party for the first time, clubbers get ready for a night packed with energy in the heart of Liverpool this October.
