The rave kicked off at The Hangar at 2pm, and concluded at 2am this morning, with a who's who of rave icons performing throughout the day and night.
Every corner, including some of the attire on display, genuinely captured the essence of a bygone era, reigniting the spirit of a scene that spearheaded the biggest youth culture movement since the 1960s.
Below are more than 60 pictures taken by Express & Star photographer Tim Thursfield, who attended the event. If you were there, there is a chance you'll be able to find yourself below.
