Every summer the Instagram photos come rolling in. Bikinis, booze and everyone you went to school with posing round a pool.
Those pillows in that specific shade of orange sitting on top of the circular pool beds are instantly recognisable. Even if you’ve never been to the Ibiza hotspot, you know exactly where it is.
Wayne Lineker’s famous O Beach, obviously. Established back in 2012, the beach club has become a must-visit for party-goers and celebrities on the island, having since opened up in Dubai.

And now, you’ll be able to join in with those Instagram snaps while you dodge old classmates without having to even board a flight. Yep, Lineker’s O Beach is coming to the UK for the first time with a surprising location announced.
I know, it’s hard to imagine any kind of beach club here with the weather the way it is right now. But when we hit the summer, the famous poolside space will be coming over for a weekend.
Lineker is teaming up with new three-day festival, Together Again. It’s set to take place at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire from 25 to 27 July.

Olly Murs, Jamie Webster and Dizzee Rascal are headlining with Peter Doherty and Gok Wan performing at the Campers Party.
There’s also set to be performances from Jake Bugg, UB40, Nathan Dawe, Professor Green, Jedward and Artful Dodger.
The O Beach Experience will be exclusive to Together Again in the UK, promising festival goers a ‘dose of Ibiza’.
It’s described as being: “A premium pop up space with everything synonymous with O Beach including their immersive entertainment, iconic round pool beds and unifying dance floor.”

The only thing is that it doesn’t seem like there will be an actual pool. But illustrations of what the Cheshire experience is set to look like includes little Jacuzzis.
There will however be cocktail bars and O Beach’s well known aerial shows.
Tony Truman of O BEACH esaid of the UK launch: "We have been wanting to host an area at a UK festival for such a long time but we wanted to ensure we had the right partners and of course ensure that what we could deliver was the same quality that O BEACH IBIZA has become known and loved for. We are so excited to be working with the guys behind Together Again and we are excited to bring O BEACH IBIZA to an absolutely perfect location for our ultimate daytime experience."

Well, let’s just hope Lineker gets lucky with the UK weather.
