Boogietown North: line-up for Barton Aerodrome festival announced including Sister Sledge- how to get tickets

Boogietown North 2024 will take over Manchester’s Barton Aerodrome this summer. The one day festival is a celebration of disco, funk and soul. 

The festival will take place at the aerodrome on Saturday July 27. The line-up for the day event has been announced, with some real throwback names amongst the acts. 

Sister Sledge, a family group from Philadelphia, are set to top the bill. They produced many classic tunes in the 1970s and 80s, including the ‘We Are Family’ a song that is fitting given all the members are sisters. 

Also appearing at the festival will be Boney M. The band rose to fame in the late 1970s with classic hits including ‘Brown Girl In The Ring,’ ‘Rasputin’ and ‘Daddy Cool’. These tracks and no doubt several other of their classics will be performed at the festival. 

Actor, comedian and presenter Craig Charles will be at the festival to perform one of his DJ sets. Fans of sci-fi sitcom ‘Red Dwarf’ will know Charles for his role as Lister, whilst he will be a familiar face to Coronation Street fans after appearing in the soap for 10 years from 2005 to 2015. 

The festival will be hosted by DJ Nick Coulson. The artist has a track record of performing at festivals and events across the country.
