Disco legend Gloria Gaynor has been confirmed as the headline of Deva Fest 2025. The music festival will return to Cheshire's Cholmondeley Castle Gardens from August 7 - 10 for another star-studded weekend.

The family-friendly festival will welcome thousands of guests in a celebration of music, dance and activities. Building on the success of last year's event, organisers have recruited disco icon Gloria Gaynor as their headliner for a night of feel good anthems.

Joining her at the top of the bill is Happy Mondays, 90s pioneers of the Madchester scene, and Matt Goss, the Bros superstar bringing his celebrated solo show to the festival stage. DJ and producer Sigala will is also take guests through the night with the biggest dance tracks from yesteryear.
