More than 5,000 votes have been counted and the most popular tracks selected from a shortlist of 10, are:  Anthem (N-Joi),  Dirty Cash (Money Talks) (Adventures of Stevie V, Todd Terry),  Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless) (Crystal Walters) , Space Cowboy (Jamiroquai, David Morales) and U Sure Do (Strike).

These tracks will join 11 other new orchestrations in a set of 40 house classics being reinvented by Urban Soul Orchestra on the evening.

Classic Ibiza’s Lisa Ward said: “These are all anthemic house tracks, with iconic vocals that lend themselves perfectly to that special Urban Soul Orchestra treatment.

“They also provide those spine-tingling, sing-along moments, which is part of what makes the Classic Ibiza experience so special.”

In addition to 16 new tracks this summer, the set being performed by Stephen Hussey’s Urban Soul Orchestra includes some firm Classic Ibiza favourites – some of which haven’t been performed for a number of years.

Lisa added: “Next year will mark 10 years of Classic Ibiza so incredibly we’ve accumulated a repertoire of over 130 tracks to choose from.

“We love freshening things up every year, but there are some tracks, shout out for Insomnia, that have become such firm crowd favourites that we simply could not perform them.

“There are also other absolute classics that we haven’t played for a while, and some of these will once again be making an appearance.

“I know our incredible Cheshire crowd is going to love what we have in store for them.”

Gates open at Tatton Park at 5.30pm with a vibe straight from one of Ibiza’s iconic beachside bars, before building to a magical alfresco nightclub by the time the concert finishes at 11pm.
