Two big names from different generations of club culture are coming together to raise funds for mental health charities.

'Legacy' featuring DJs Seth Troxler & Dave Haslam is on for one night only on Thursday 13 July at South Nightclub, Manchester with all profits going to Mind and CALM.

You may recall that Dave sold his record collection to Seth in November 2015 and at the time the two DJs promised to find the right moment to one day play together in Manchester. The waiting is now over.

The event at South, which follows immediately after New Order play the Manchester International Festival the same evening, will include the club's Courtyard space and others featuring on the night include Micron DJs and TinTin (New Order's tour DJ). The complete line-up, with special guests, will be announced nearer the date.

Seth Troxler grew up in Detroit and over the last ten years has established himself as one of the biggest names on the international circuit. Dave Haslam DJ'd at the Haçienda almost five hundred times from 1986 to 1997.

Expect a proper party, past, present and future combining.

Advance tickets priced 12.50 GBP are still available via Skiddle.
