Captivated is back at Docks Academy on Saturday 1 August with something a bit different — a full day party built around trance from start to finish.
The Summer Session takes things out of the usual late-night slot and into the daylight, kicking off at 3pm and running right through to 11pm. Expect a proper journey across the spectrum of trance, from warm, melodic builds in the afternoon to driving, peak-time energy as the night rolls in.
This isn’t just a standard lineup either. The day features two exclusive B2B sets alongside a brand-new collaboration making its live debut — created specifically for this event. It’s the kind of thing you won’t see repeated elsewhere.
Artists on the bill represent some of the most respected labels in the scene, including FSOE, Yanada, Rated Records, Extrema Global and Nocturnal Knights, alongside the Captivated residents who’ve helped shape the brand into what it is.
Whether you’re into uplifting melodies, deeper progressive sounds or full-throttle trance, the day is designed to build naturally — no filler, just a steady climb from start to finish.
If you’ve been to a Captivated night before, you’ll know the standard. If you haven’t, this is a solid place to start.
