What's On at Boogietown 2026? Your Guide to This Year's Lineup and Stages
If you’re wondering whether Boogietown Festival is worth adding to your summer calendar, the answer is simple: absolutely.
Returning to Apps Court, Surrey on Saturday 11th July 2026, Boogietown celebrates its fifth birthday this year with one of its biggest and most diverse lineups to date. Bringing together legendary names from the worlds of disco, soul, funk, reggae and feel-good dance music, it’s a festival built around timeless songs, unforgettable performances and an atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Whether you’re planning your day in advance or discovering the lineup for the first time, here’s a look at what you can expect across the festival’s stages.
The Main Stage is where you’ll find some of the biggest names in disco and soul music history. Headlining the celebrations is the legendary Gloria Gaynor, whose iconic anthem I Will Survive remains one of the most recognisable songs ever recorded. Seeing the Queen of Disco perform live is a bucket-list moment for music fans and one of the standout performances of the entire weekend.
Joining Gloria Gaynor are soul and disco favourites Shalamar, whose catalogue of dancefloor classics including A Night To Remember and The Second Time Around continues to fill venues around the world. Gabrielle also brings her unmistakable voice and a collection of beloved hits that have soundtracked British radio for more than three decades, while Heather Small is guaranteed to deliver a powerful performance packed with songs that have become synonymous with summer festivals and feel-good moments.
Elsewhere on the Main Stage, festival-goers can enjoy performances from Maxi Priest, one of Britain’s most successful reggae artists, alongside special guests Boney M, whose music remains central to every great party playlist. Together, these artists create a lineup packed with nostalgia, singalong moments and timeless records that have stood the test of time.
For those who love digging a little deeper into soul, funk and groove-led sounds, the festival’s dedicated soul and funk areas offer a different experience altogether. Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club brings one of the UK’s most respected selectors to Boogietown, delivering a set packed with rare grooves, dancefloor classics and infectious energy. Expect packed crowds, plenty of dancing and the kind of atmosphere that perfectly captures what Boogietown is all about.
The Soul II Soul performance is another major highlight of the day. Their influence on British music is undeniable, helping shape the sound of soul, R&B and dance music for generations. Hearing classics like Back To Life performed live is the sort of festival moment that stays with you long after the event is over.
Across the site, you’ll also find DJs, entertainers and performers helping to create the vibrant atmosphere that has become synonymous with Boogietown over the last five years. Unlike many festivals that focus solely on headliners, Boogietown is designed as a full day out where every corner of the site offers something new to discover.
What makes the festival unique is its ability to bring together multiple generations of music lovers. You’ll see groups of friends reliving the soundtrack of their youth alongside younger festival-goers discovering these iconic artists for the very first time. The result is an atmosphere that feels welcoming, inclusive and genuinely centred around a shared love of great music.
As disco continues to enjoy a resurgence in popularity, Boogietown remains one of the UK’s few festivals dedicated entirely to celebrating the genre and its wider musical family. From classic disco and soul to reggae, funk and dancefloor favourites, the lineup reflects the music that continues to bring people together year after year.
Whether you’re coming to tick Gloria Gaynor off your bucket list, dance to Shalamar, sing along with Gabrielle or experience the energy of Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club, Boogietown 2026 promises a full day of unforgettable performances.
With final tickets now on sale and the festival celebrating its fifth birthday, this year’s edition is shaping up to be the biggest Boogietown yet. If you love great music, summer festivals and feel-good vibes, there’s never been a better time to join the party.
