April 23rd & 24th - Australia: Fantazia
The organisers of the UK's biggest outdoor parties "Fantazia" embark on their anticipated eight-date tour of the upside down country - Australia.
Fantazia's first tentative steps in Australia at the State Sports Centre in Sydney was greeted with very good turnout from the three thousand strong aussie audience, but a very mixed reception if you take into account the no-shows from the performing DJ's. For their first major overseas tour, head organiser James Perkins has gone back to blighty to count his first million leaving the production responiblities of the tour to no other than, Vision promoter Chris Griffin!.
Fantazia will bring over the Godfather, DJ Grooverider and the midlands badboy, DJ Ratty especially from the UK to perform on this tour. On Saturday night, the first leg of the Australian tour will be at the The Site in Brisbane, Queensland. A day later, Fantazia will be two thousand miles away in south Australia as the aussie tour make a scheduled stop in Adelaide. This time the ravers in the south will have their first taste of Fantazia when the second leg of the tour arrives at the Le Rox in Adelaide, south Australia.
April 29th & 30th - Mansfield & St. Ives: Baby & Club Dreamscape
It seems that Murray Beeston and the staff from ESP Promotions have once again got itchy feet as they host the first Club Dreamscape parties of the year. Tonight is solely for the midlands ravers as they are just about to discover what makes Dreamscape tick when "Baby Dreamscape" stops off to visit Krafty's Venue 44 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
Tommorrow, ESP will complete their mini-two-date tour of the United Kingdom by making a mad dash of three hundred miles, down to [ the most south-westerly club in England ] Progression's regular haunt, the quaint looking Shirehorse venue in St. Ives, Cornwall to give five hundred lucky ravers there very own special dose of ESP with their very own "Club Dreamscape".

May 1st - Ayr: Hanger 13
Just a few months after it's grand opening it is all going horribly wrong for the management at Hanger 13 in Ayr, Ayrshire as nineteen-year-old Andrew Dick from Glasgow, Lanarkshire becomes the second person to die after taking ecstasy at the venue.
The double tragedy at the venue provoked the Hanger management to employ a pro-active approach to the deadly narcotics situation which is putting their club and other nearby venues in the spotlight. The management of the venue made drastic changes to their organisational practices and began by beefing up their security detail, including a sniffer dog.
The management also provided free water for their patrons, left the fire exits open all-night to prevent their guests from overheating and got the DJ's to turn the music off for fifteen intervals so that their guests can chill-out and take a break from raving. Going futher still, the management took the decision to employ the services of full-time paramedics to be on-site and arranged for an ambulance to be on stand-by at the front door during the raves duration to try and prevent any more tragedies.
