Kool & The Gang (US) - 11 June

Kool & The Gang's funky hits from the 70s set a new standard for club music with songs like "Jungle Boogie" and "Funky Stuff". When disco became big in the 80's, they adapted quickly to the new sound and wrote huge disco floor fillers such as "Ladies Night", "Celebration," "Get Down On It" and "Fresh". 

The band is still regarded as one of the strongest party bands in the world, and rumours stating their demise have been quickly rubbished! Several of the band members are really fine instrumentalists in their own right, a fact often overshadowed by their hits. Clifford Adams, trombonist, drummer George Brown and saxophonist Ronald Bell are examples of this. Put on your dancing shoes and prepare yourself for floor stomping evening during the festival!
