"A massive thank you goes to USO, all our performers and crew for serving up a truly incredible show. A huge shout out also goes to our amazing Hertfordshire audience who always manage to bring the Classic Ibiza vibe that makes the show so special.” The 2024 show in Hatfield also backed charity Herts Young Homeless, which supports young people facing homelessness in Hertfordshire.
