Greggs host “after hours” party with North Shields DJ Schak to celebrate release of new track

North East bakery chain Greggs transformed their Northumberland Street shop into an “after hours” party named Sausage Rolls and Stompers, as they teamed up with UK dance music artists to celebrate their brand-new single. 

On Tuesday, May 7, Greggs hosted an exclusive DJ set in their most iconic Greggs bakery in Newcastle’s city centre, to celebrate the release of Schak and Will Atkinson’s brand-new track featuring Abi Flynn, which has been named Yesterday.

Lucky fans of Greggs and the artists were treated to live DJ sets, in a “lock-in” style event, while feasting on delicious Greggs’ Sausage Rolls. 

As the bakery was transformed into an intimate nightclub setting, DJ and producer Charlie Boon got the party going with a 30-minute set, before Schak and Atkinson took to the decks.

North Shields born DJ, Schak performed an exciting back-to-back set of dance tunes, alongside Scottish DJ Will Atkinson, delivering euro-trance inspired beats.

The pair were then joined by vocalist Abi Flynn, where the trio performed their brand-new track Yesterday.

Yesterday was released on Friday, May 3 by Armada Music, and has already been selected as “Hottest Record” by Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1’s Dance Party Show.

The event, which was delivered in partnership with events company Lab54, was a huge success, with fans taking to social media to share clips of the unexpected performances. 

The artists donned Greggs aprons and caps, to make the event even more surreal.

Schak is becoming known for his unexpected venue performances, having delivered DJ sets across Tyne and Wear in places such as Shields Ferry, Tyne and Wear Metro, St James’ Park and even inside a B&Q!
