Ian Van Dahl is coming to the Isle of Wight for the very first time!
Get ready to be transported back to the golden age of dance music as one of the most iconic names of the era touches down at 300-capacity Strings in Newport on Saturday 3rd October 2026.
If your nights out were soundtracked by euphoric trance, packed dancefloors, Ministry of Sound compilations, late-night clubbing and some of the biggest dance anthems of the late ’90s and early 2000s – this is a night made for you.
Ian Van Dahl became one of the defining names of the early 2000s European dance explosion, creating the kind of records that instantly take you back to a time, a place and a dancefloor.
And few records capture that feeling quite like Castles In The Sky.
From those unmistakable opening chords, it became one of the defining dance anthems of a generation – reaching the UK Top 10, topping charts across Europe and achieving platinum and gold success internationally.
More than two decades later, it remains one of those rare tracks where the first few seconds are enough to bring the memories flooding back.
