Over in the Workroom, affectionately known by regulars as the Rave Cave, clubbers should prepare for a serious workout of flavours through deep grooves to peak-time tech house. Local heavyweights James Worral, Melly D, Ben Harvey, Sinclair and Booty will pass the baton from one to the next, ensuring a pumping and intimate rave all night long.

Attendees at this final Sheffield bash of the year will receive first-access discounts to Love to be’s Sheffield Festival which returns to takeover FORGE and Effingham Road on 24th May 2026, making this night at FORGE the must-attend prelude to next year’s all-dayer.

Originating in 1994 at the Music Factory on London Road, Love to be… was championed as the North’s original super club for its inimitable atmosphere and legendary lineups. Now, one year on from a 30th anniversary which staged 30 events from Miami to Sydney, and the launch of the sell-out Love to be… Festival in Harrogate, Love to be… enjoys nothing more than being back on home turf at FORGE which it’s now called home since 2023.

From 5PM until midnight, Love to be… continues its mission to unite multigenerational crowds on the dancefloor, bringing world-class DJs, cutting-edge production, and a community-driven spirit to Sheffield’s premier underground venue.

Tickets are on sale now from £23 + booking fee via Skiddle. A fully sold-out show is expected so don’t miss out and grab one now.
