Sunrise/Back to the Future

Sunrise/Back to the Future

Sunrise/Back to the Future were the most widely publicised Acid House promoters in the UK. They staged a series of large scale events in venues such as aircraft hangars, equestrian centres and large warehouses. Run by public school-boy Tony Colstonhayter, the organisation was front-page news in the United Kingdom for two weeks.

In September 1989, Sunrise held the largest Acid House rave ever, just outside Reigate in Surrey. In the fields adjacent to the school playing fields at Hartswood (between Woodhatch and Sidlow Bridge), the rave took place and lasted from 10pm on the Saturday night until late into Sunday night. It was estimated that nearly 20,000 attended during the weekend and car queues stretched from the top of Reigate Hill all the way to the field in question (4 miles!). It was widely covered by the Press and television and remains the largest rave ever, notable for the fact that it is the only time in British history that the police have retreated on mainland soil.

"Sunrise" were instrumental in organising the Freedom to Party demonstrations and the free parties that followed alongside Genesis '88, Biology and Weekend World.
