Electric Paradise 2026

A brand new UK festival is stepping onto the summer circuit with serious groove credentials as Electric Paradise prepares to transform the Milton Keynes National Bowl into a 50000 capacity celebration of disco, funk, soul and house music. Built as a cross generational gathering, the event promises a feel good atmosphere where classic sounds meet modern dancefloor energy.

Leading the line up is the iconic Grace Jones, joined by soul legend Candi Staton and British reggae favourites UB40. Funk heavyweights Kool & The Gang and disco heroes Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge add generations of dancefloor anthems, while live performances from Cameo, Earth, Wind & Fire and Shalamar keep the groove firmly rooted in funk and soul history.

Dance music culture is equally represented with house pioneers Armand Van Helden, Roger Sanchez and Dimitri From Paris bringing club authority, alongside London nightlife favourite Fat Tony and respected selectors including Mark Knight, Todd Terry and Norman Jay.

Promoted by JBM Music, Electric Paradise aims to unite longtime disco lovers, house heads and newer festival crowds under one open sky. Set inside one of Britain’s most iconic outdoor venues, the festival blends large scale production with a joyful community spirit, celebrating the timeless power of music made for dancing together. With its mix of legendary performers and club culture pioneers, Electric Paradise arrives ready to turn nostalgia into a living, breathing party.
