Electric Paradise 2026: disco, funk and house in the Buckinghamshire countryside

In the pastoral setting of Buckinghamshire, within easy reach of London, Electric Paradise offers a festival day each August dedicated to the music that shaped clubbing culture: disco, funk, house and reggae. A nostalgic and joyful concept that celebrates the roots of modern dance music with living legends.

The 2026 edition reunites absolute icons: UB40, ambassadors of British reggae-pop for four decades, and KOOL & THE GANG, American funk legends. Sister Sledge carries the disco torch with "We Are Family", while Armand van Helden and Roger Sanchez bridge the gap to modern house.

Electric Paradise celebrates an entire era of music history: jazz-funk, contemporary R&B, electrofunk and pop soul construct a programme of rare coherence. Eurodance and speed garage complete a vintage-modern tableau that will delight both nostalgists of the 80s-90s and good vibes enthusiasts alike.

Electric Paradise offers a welcome alternative to generic pop festivals: by focusing on the artistic quality of its legends and the coherence of its dance-music programme, it creates a unique atmosphere of collective celebration. A full day of great music in the English countryside — a proposition that's hard to refuse for any groove lover.
