FESTIVAL goers in Cheshire will be treated to disco genius as Gloria Gaynor was announced as the headline act for DevaFest.

The fast-growing festival, held at Cheshire’s Cholmondeley Castle from August 7-10, has added the singer – known for her iconic hit ‘I Will Survive’ – as the top-billed star as it celebrates five years.

Joining her at the top of the bill are Happy Mondays, 90s pioneers of the ‘Madchester’ scene, and Matt Goss, the Bros superstar bringing his celebrated solo show to the festival stage.

Dance music fans will also be thrilled to see chart-topping DJ and producer Sigala, who will keep the party alive with his infectious beats.

Phil Marston, festival Director, said: "Celebrating our 5th birthday in 2025 is a huge milestone, and we couldn’t be more excited about the incredible acts we’ve already secured.

“Gloria Gaynor, Happy Mondays, Matt Goss and Sigala set the tone for what will be our biggest and best festival yet – and we’ve got plenty more surprises to come.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Cholmondeley Castle this summer for an unforgettable celebration."

The headliners join a whole host of acts just announced for the 2025 lineup, with festival favourites Symphonic Ibiza and the Old Time Sailors returning.

The first wave of acts are just the beginning with more acts and special guests announced in the New Year to top the 5th anniversary lineup.

The much-loved Heart and Soul stage will also return alongside the comedy tent as well as their famous free to use fairground rides.
