The legendary hitmakers’ special guests Sister Sledge feature founding member Debbie Sledge, and Boney M feat Maizie Williams.
As The Jackson 5, the group found international success in 1969, with their first single ‘I Want You Back’ reaching No.1 on the US charts. Their next 3 singles ‘ABC’, ‘The Love You Save’, and ‘I'll Be There’ followed suit, as making music history with 4 debut singles all reaching No.1. They ultimately scored 17 Top Forty singles in the US charts.
After changing their name to The Jacksons in 1976, they released five hit albums between 1976 and 1981, including the smash hit disco singles ‘Enjoy Yourself’, ‘Blame It On The Boogie’, ‘Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)’, and ‘Can You Feel It.’
Sister Sledge are known for their massive, ubiquitous hit singles such as ‘We Are Family’, ‘Lost In Music’, and ‘Thinking Of You’. Over the years the Grammy nominated group has amassed a string of Gold and Platinum records, accumulating total sales of over 15,000,000 worldwide. Their albums, several of which were produced by the legendary Nile Rodgers, have received global recognition.
The current lineup of the group features founding member Debbie Sledge, as well as two of her children Camille and David, Thaddeus Sledge (son of late Sister Sledge founding member Joni), and vocalist Tanya Ti-et.
Boney M recently celebrated their 50th anniversary, and are known for their huge hits including ‘Rivers of Babylon’, ‘Rasputin’, ‘Daddy Cool’, ‘Brown Girl in the Ring’, and ‘Gotta Go Home’. Led by original founder Maizie Williams, the group continues to deliver their blend of disco-infused pop and reggae.
The Jacksons join previously announced headliner for Heritage Live Festivals at Englefield House, The Beach Boys performing their only UK show for 2025, joined by special guests David Essex and Lulu.
Previous years of Heritage Live Festivals at Englefield House have hosted the likes of Hozier, Richard Ashcroft, Elbow, Madness and Boy George & Culture Club.
