Southport Disco Festival is back in Victoria Park on 3rd September 2022 with its 4th edition, this time with a full on circus theme in a big top marquee and with its biggest line up to date. Headlining will be Hacienda legend GRAEME PARK alongside Defected Records vocalist LISA MILLETT.
Graeme Park has been a major part of the critically acclaimed Haçienda Classical shows recently, bringing the iconic venue back to life in a classical format. They have performed around the UK since 2016 to rapturous response where he performs live alongside the Manchester Camerata Orchestra, Peter Hook and special guest vocalists to a set of classic and contemporary club tunes. The show opened the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in 2017 and has also performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Castlefield Bowl in Manchester, the Isle Of Wight Festival and lots of other arenas and festivals around the UK as well as in Dublin, Dubai and Switzerland.
Alongside GRAEME PARK at Southport Disco Festival will be LISA MILLETT who sung some of the most classic Defected Records house tracks of the noughties including 'Bad Habit', 'Sleep Talk', 'Ill Be Good', 'Soul Heaven' to name a very small few...
