The 2012 event was the last time the venue was utilised before being closed and mothballed for almost a decade prior to the end of its lease with the Custard Factory.

Billed as Britain's first "stadium house music event", the party sold out in advance at a venue that fellow superclubbers Cream had failed to fill only 12 months previously.

Saturday night saw Babooshka filling the 2000 capacity venue for a second time each weekend, entertaining the masses with its glamorous style of U.S. house music and UK garage, while Sundays played host to the mixed night Polysexual, which continues to be one of the UK's most successful names in hard dance.

The venue was a British summertime veteran, which had previously played host to the Phoenix Festival and the Bulldog Bash.

GlobalGathering was a major success, and Godskitchen finished 2001 by returning to one of their original homes, The Sanctuary Music Arena in Milton Keynes.

2002 saw the capacity of GlobalGathering increase to 35,000 and in 2003 Godskitchen completely transformed their home venue CODE, renaming it AIR.

Receivers were appointed and spoke to the company's current and recently departed directors Neil Moffitt, James Algate and Chris Griffin.

New Year's Eve 2004/2005 saw Godskitchen hold their last Friday night in Birmingham, moving to Saturdays in 2005 in order to compete in what many had come to see as a flagging market.

Artists who performed include Axwell, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Gareth Emery, and Arno Cost.
