Boogietown returns on Sat 11 July for its fabulous fifth and most ambitious edition to date. Once again this one-day celebration of disco, soul, funk and feel-good dance will transform Surrey’s Apps Court Farm into the South East’s most essential summer party with its largest-ever lineup and an expanded five-stage site. Tickets go on sale Friday 30 January at 9am, following the full lineup announcement on Monday 26 January at 6pm.
Set within the scenic riverside grounds of Apps Court Farm, just outside London, Boogietown brings legendary live performances, iconic DJs and a relaxed open-air atmosphere within easy reach of the capital. It’s a coming together of grown up groove lovers and younger ears searching for the most authentic sounds across a tasteful range of scenes.
New for 2026, Boogietown expands to five stages for the first time so promises more music, more variety and more discovery across genres. Alongside the music, a dedicated Food Village will serve a curated selection of street food traders throughout the day.
Headlining the Main Stage are some of the most influential names in global soul and disco, led by Gloria Gaynor, who famously performed at the very first Boogietown and now returns as a firm fan favourite. She is joined by Shalamar, Gabrielle, Earth, Wind & Fire by Al McKay, and Soul II Soul, with hosting duties from Jonny Meah and Nick Coulson.
Elsewhere across the site, the Big Love Tent delivers crossover classics and high-energy performances from scene mainstays Maxi Priest, Heather Small, Aswad, Sonique, Baby D, K-Klass and Gok Wan, while The Love Train keeps disco front and centre all day long with Brutus Gold Love Train, Boney M, Odyssey and Heatwave.
The Funk & Soul Club brings together tastemakers and selectors including Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club, Norman Jay, Dave Lee (JN), Jazzie B (DJ Set), Alison Limerick and the Soul Boutique Collective, while the Boogie Bus adds a disco and disco-house soundtrack courtesy of Sophie Warner, Gary Warner, Seb G and Thom Pepper.
Launched in 2021, Boogietown has grown year-on-year into a staple of the UK summer festival calendar thanks to its uplifting daytime party atmosphere and multi-generational appeal. Boogietown 2026 will be the festival’s most unmissable chapter yet as it celebrates five years of feel-good music, community spirit and standout programming while continuing to evolve for a new generation.
