By Paul Cole, Jack Daniels; David Brookes

WIN tickets to Global Gathering, the world’s biggest and best dance festival.

We have FIVE pairs of tickets to the Stratford-upon-Avon supershow to be won.

This year, Basement Jaxx and Faithless headline the gig, which attracts 50,000 fans.

It runs from Friday July 27 to Saturday July 28 at the Long Marston Airfield.

Others on the bill include DJs such as Paul Van Dyk, Carl Cox, Erick Morillo and Armin Van Buuren, who will deliver sets from the 16 state of the art arenas and stages.

Watch out, too for big names including Calvin Harris, Armand van Helden, Sven Vath, Fedde Le Grand and local legend Goldie.

There are also potential showstealing spots from New Young Pony Club, The Klaxons and Francois Kevorkian.

Then there’s the return of firm favourites Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, Ferry Corsten, Roger Sanchez and 2ManyDJs.

Once again, Radio 1 will host the main stage and broadcast from the event throughout the entire weekend, with Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Grooverider, Fabio and Dave Pearce going live.

Staying the weekend? The newly expanded campsite is large enough to fit 40 football pitches and includes hot showers and an outdoor cinema!
