The door policy also ensured that only dedicated and enthusiastic clubbers gained access. This resulted in a clientele and atmosphere that was rare at that time in any club in the UK. The door policy, and fashion at the end of the 1990s, encouraged people to dress in a flamboyant style to ensure entry to the night. The club developed a cult following (Gatecrasher Kids) who in turn developed their own style of fashion, identifiable by fluorescent clothes, dummies, and spiky hair. Scott Bond's style of dance music was reflected in the DJs booked for the nights and at the end of the 1990s, Gatecrasher was instrumental in the rise of trance music with the use of DJs like Ferry Corsten. In 1998, Gatecrasher joined forces with the London nightclub Ministry of Sound and held its first outdoor festival at Lotherton Hall in Leeds, which was also broadcast on BBC Radio 1. In the same year, the event received the Club of the Year award at the Ericsson "Muzik Magazine" Dance Awards, winning it again in 1999, and Gatecrasher CD "Black" was released. Gatecrasher has won other awards, including, "The Guardian's" and "Times" Club of the Year award in 1999, BEDA Awards Event of the Year category in 1999, "Mixmag" 's Crowd of the Year award in 1998 and "Ministry Magazine" Club of the Year award in 1999. The Lotherton Hall event was repeated in 1999, but Gatecrasher organised it alone; the event was again broadcast on BBC Radio 1. During the same year, Gatecrasher began a nine-year relationship with Sheffield's Designers Republic studio for the production of the nightclub brand's artwork. Gatecrasher also bought the Music Factory nightclub in Sheffield in 1999 and renamed it Bed. The music at Bed was mainly house music, with the club's promotion aimed at consumers who were older and more sophisticated than the typical Gatecrasher attendee. American house music DJ Roger Sanchez celebrated his birthday with a seven-hour DJ set at Bed in May 2004. During a visit to South Africa, Gatecrasher performed to sold-out venues at Wembley Stadium in Johannesburg and The Dockside in Cape Town. Gatecrasher has toured around the world to: Europe, Australia, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. Gatecrasher's 2000GC Millennium Eve event was held at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield and attracted 25,000 people.
