THE EXPERIENCE
TAKING IT BACK
After a massive run of dance music royalty, Summa Classics returns for its next chapter.
This time, we're welcoming Hercules & Love Affair to the palms for a night built around one of the most influential and enduring acts in modern dance music.
Born from New York's underground and loved everywhere from Ibiza to Berlin, Hercules & Love Affair helped shape an era where disco, house and electronic music collided in all the right ways. From the moment Blind hit dancefloors around the world, the project became synonymous with euphoric vocals, emotional highs and the kind of records that stay with you long after the lights come on.
Summa Classics is a throwback to the nights that turned into mornings. When every song felt like an anthem, every friend brought another friend, and the dancefloor was the only place that mattered.
Joining the journey are Summa favourites Brett J and Adam Hunter, soundtracking the warm up before Hercules & Love Affair take control under the stars.
This is a Summa House celebration. Open air. Under lights. Surrounded by palms and people who know.

MORE TO KNOW
Hercules & Love Affair
Hercules & Love Affair is the acclaimed musical project of producer, DJ and songwriter Andy Butler. Formed in New York in 2004, the group became an instant global success with their self-titled debut album, featuring the iconic track *Blind* alongside the unforgettable voice of Antony Hegarty (now Anohni). The record helped define a new era of house music by blending disco, soul and underground club culture.
Over the past two decades, Hercules & Love Affair has released multiple critically acclaimed albums and performed at some of the world's most respected clubs and festivals. With a constantly evolving lineup of vocalists and collaborators, Andy Butler has built one of electronic music's most influential live acts, earning a reputation for performances that are as emotional as they are euphoric.
