Grammy Award-winning DJ, remixer and producer Roger Sanchez headlines the event, while 90s stars including Sonique, Nightcrawlers, N Trance and Graeme Park will add a nostalgic touch to proceedings.

A raft of local DJs, including Matty Robinson and James Sempie, also feature on a line-up that spans three stages set within the stunning surroundings of the Towneley estate.

Paul told the Express last month: "People are starting to get really positive about it. We've seen a lot of positivity in messages coming through at Retro HQ and across our social media channels. I can't wait for this.

"All my events have been postponed several times, but this is it now! We're coming back out of the other side and we're going for it. It's a big party and I just hope that everybody embraces it and just goes for it - this now is one of the biggest parties of our life!

"Retro has a musical identity. People know that it's always been a celebration. That's our tagline: 'A celebration of house music'. People know what we're all about and they'll come knowing that they're going to have a good time."

Final tickets for Retro in the Park, which runs from noon until 11pm on Saturday, are on sale on Skiddle.
