The Songs That Made Electric Paradise 2026
Electric Paradise made its unforgettable debut at Milton Keynes Bowl in 2026, bringing together icons of disco, funk, soul and house for one huge celebration of music. From timeless anthems and incredible live performances to dancefloor classics that sent thousands of people wild, these are some of the songs that defined our first-ever Electric Paradise.
1. Michael Gray – The Weekend
When Michael Gray played his huge house anthem The Weekend during his B2B set with Mark Knight on the Fool’s Paradise Stage, it was an instant Electric Paradise highlight.
Hearing one of house music’s most recognisable tracks played by Michael Gray himself, with the Fool’s Paradise crowd in full swing, made this a standout moment from our debut festival.
2. Sister Sledge ft. Kathy Sledge – We Are Family
Few songs bring people together quite like We Are Family.
Hearing Sister Sledge ft. Kathy Sledge perform this timeless anthem live was a truly special moment. Thousands of voices joined together for one enormous singalong, perfectly capturing the sense of joy and togetherness that filled Electric Paradise.
3. Grace Jones – Slave to the Rhythm
A genuine icon performing one of her most recognisable songs on the Electric Paradise Main Stage.
Grace Jones delivered an unforgettable closing performance, and Slave to the Rhythm was one of the defining moments of the entire festival. Powerful, theatrical and completely captivating, it was the perfect finale to our debut year.
4. Barbara Tucker – Deep Inside
Barbara Tucker brought the unmistakable sound of New York house to Electric Paradise with Deep Inside, her huge hit created with legendary producer Louie Vega.
From the moment its instantly recognisable vocal rang out, the crowd knew exactly what was coming. A true house classic, performed by one of the genre’s most iconic voices.
5. Kool & The Gang – Too Hot
Kool & The Gang brought effortless funk and soul to Electric Paradise with a live performance of Too Hot.
Smooth, timeless and made for the summer sunshine, this was one of those performances that had the crowd dancing from beginning to end.
