Get ready to groove like it’s 1979 – Boogietown is back, and this time it’s bigger, bolder, and funkier than ever.
Celebrating five years of feel-good sunshine soul, Boogietown 2026 drops its biggest lineup to date, bringing legends, icons and disco royalty to the scenic surrounds of Apps Court Farm in Surrey. Mark your calendars for Saturday 11th July, because this one’s shaping up to be the ultimate summer celebration for lovers of funk, soul, disco, and everything in between.
And the lineup? Pure heat.
Topping the bill is Gloria Gaynor, returning to the Boogietown stage after helping launch the festival back in 2021 – and yes, she will survive. She’s joined by a heavyweight roster of icons including Shalamar, Gabrielle, Earth, Wind & Fire by Al McKay, and Soul II Soul. That’s just the main stage. Hosting duties are in safe hands with Jonny Meah and Nick Coulson keeping the vibe high throughout the day.
This year also sees the festival expand to five stages for the very first time, meaning more music, more styles, and more chances to dance in the sunshine. Over at the Big Love Tent, get ready for a full crossover party with sets from Maxi Priest, Heather Small, Sonique, K-Klass, Aswad, and even Gok Wan behind the decks.
Need more glitter? Step aboard The Love Train, where Boney M, Odyssey, Heatwave, and the flamboyant Brutus Gold Love Train will keep the disco fires burning all day long.
For crate diggers and groove heads, The Funk & Soul Club is the spot. Think Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club, Norman Jay, Dave Lee (JN), Jazzie B, Alison Limerick, and the ever-classy Soul Boutique Collective.
And if you want to go all in, catch the crew on the Boogie Bus, where selectors like Sophie Warner, Gary Warner, Seb G and Thom Pepper keep the disco and house beats rolling from start to finish.
With easy access from London, riverside views, great food and a community vibe, Boogietown has become a proper highlight on the UK’s summer festival map. What started as a niche soul and disco gathering in 2021 has evolved into a multi-generational day of dance, drenched in nostalgia but never stuck in the past. If you’ve been before, you already know. If you haven’t – this is the year to join the party.
