There will also be Mini Manoeuvres, a club event for kids and parents, which will also be running across the two days from 12:PM - 3:PM.
Mark Mackechnie, Festival Director, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing the party back to the Southside this year after so many previous sellout events. This year is going to be a special one as we have Optimo celebrating 25 years; as well as an epic disco takeover on Bank Holiday Sunday.
"The new location allows for a real development on what we can do with the Heverlee Village being a prime example. Looking forward to it is an understatement.”

Optimo said: “Optimo was born in Glasgow and thrived due to the unconditional love and support of Glaswegians.
"As we celebrate 25 years of Optimo it was important to us that our celebration was deeply rooted in this amazing city and showcased and supported some of the incredible talent we have in our community here.”
