Liverpool Disco Festival & Southport Weekender’s 30th Anniversary Announce First Wave of Acts
Liverpool Disco Festival returns on Saturday 6th May 2017, following on from last October’s incredible debut event.
The weekend carries a special resonance across the UK and beyond, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the legendary Southport Weekender, who along with Hustle and SUNcéBeat present an epic showcase of music in the city’s thriving creative quarter, the Baltic Triangle.
SUNcéBeat and Hustle are bringing together not only all the best parts that made the first Liverpool Disco Festival so special, but adding some more of the music and special touches which made the Southport Weekender unique.
The first wave of headliners includes D-Train and Ultra Naté live, plus Tony Humphries (4hr Zanzibar set), Joey Negro, Jellybean Benitez, Danny Krivit, John Morales, Nicky Siano, Mr Scruff, DJ Spen, Karizma, Rahaan, Lenny Fontana, Graeme Park, Jamie 3:26, Red Greg, Mark Seven and many more to be revealed
The festival takes place across the Baltic Triangle in the heart of Liverpool’s thriving creative quarter with one our highlights in the form of Mr Scruff who plays a very special Constellations Garden Set. A bedroom DJ since his early teens, Scruff’s rise to fame with his trademark eclecticism continues through to his sprawling genre-skipping sets today. In the latter years of the Southport Weekender, he became one of the few DJs who could deservedly command an extended set in a line up brimming with international talent.
Liverpool Disco Festival will also shortly reveal a very special event on Friday 24th February at Constellations, with a legendary headliner making a very welcome return, and an art-inspired story taking place in the build-up.
Musically discerning, dance floor dedicated, party mad and passionate. It almost goes without saying that demand for this year’s festival will be huge. Liverpool Disco Festival continues the legacy of underground dance music inspired by Chicago and New York City, and rooted in the UK’s rich clubbing heritage.
