We’re beyond excited to finally announce Bassline Symphony, a flagship event set to take the stage as part of the Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture celebrations. Curated by our very own Tanya Vital, Creative Director of Vital Culture UK, Bassline Symphony brings together some of the most legendary figures in the Bassline scene, including Jamie Duggan, DJ Q, and TS7, alongside acclaimed arranger Katie Chatburn and the prestigious Orchestra of Opera North.

Tanya has been driving this project for years, creating a truly groundbreaking experience that will showcase Bradford’s rich cultural heritage through music. Her vision has always been to honour the legacy of Bassline music while expanding its boundaries by blending it with live orchestral arrangements.

Bradford has long been a hotspot for the Bassline music scene, a genre that has deeply influenced club culture in the UK. By combining this dynamic sound with classical music, Bassline Symphony will reimagine the music we love in ways never heard before. This unique fusion will celebrate both Bassline and classical music while ensuring they remain relevant and accessible for modern audiences.

As part of the Bradford 2025 cultural program, this event promises to deliver a one-night-only musical journey on May 9, 2025, at the iconic St George’s Hall. Expect new symphonic versions of classic tracks from our headliners, a lineup of guest vocalists and DJs, and a showcase of both new and nostalgic tunes—all against the stunning backdrop of one of Bradford’s most historical venues.

Keep an eye on this space for ticket details and further announcements as we continue to work on bringing this spectacular vision to life.

Bradford 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year for our city, and we’re thrilled that Bassline Symphony will be a central part of it. For more information, visit the Bradford 2025 event page here.
