Boogietown has unveiled its biggest and boldest lineup yet as the beloved UK disco and soul celebration marks five years in style on Saturday 11th July, 2026. Returning to the riverside setting of Apps Court Farm, the one-day festival will expand to five stages for the first time, cementing its status as one of the South East’s most feel-good summer parties and a must-attend for groove lovers of all ages.

Headlining the Main Stage is disco royalty Gloria Gaynor, making a triumphant return after performing at the very first Boogietown. She is joined by a powerhouse cast including Shalamar, Gabrielle, Earth, Wind & Fire by Al McKay and Soul II Soul, with hosting duties handled by Jonny Meah and Nick Coulson. Together, the bill delivers a masterclass in timeless disco, soul and dancefloor classics.

Across the expanded site, the Big Love Tent brings high-energy crossover moments from Maxi Priest, Heather Small, Aswad, Sonique, Baby D, K-Klass and Gok Wan, while The Love Train keeps disco front and centre with Brutus Gold Love Train, Boney M, Odyssey and Heatwave. The Funk & Soul Club features tastemakers including Craig Charles, Norman Jay, Jazzie B and Alison Limerick, with the Boogie Bus adding all-day disco and disco-house flavours.

Since launching in 2021, Boogietown has grown into a staple of the UK summer calendar, celebrated for its daytime atmosphere, multi-generational crowd and impeccable curation. With tickets on sale from Friday 30th January, 2026, Boogietown’s fifth birthday edition shapes as its most unmissable chapter yet.
