Fusion returned in August 2007 with another huge instalment of their legendary hardcore events – Fusion: The Seventh Wonder. Following the phenomenal success of their previous sold-out event The Sixth Sense, which saw 1,500 ravers descend for a night of unforgettable music, the original pioneers of the UK Hardcore movement brought another epic production to the iconic Club Ice complex in Westbury, Wiltshire.

Running from 8pm until 6am, The Seventh Wonder showcased the very best in underground dance music across five arenas, featuring a huge mix of UK Hardcore, Hard Dance, Techno, Drum & Bass, Twisted House and Electro.
