Deva Fest has announced the first wave of acts for its 2025 festival.

The festival, which is celebrating its fifth birthday, will be headlined by US disco legend Gloria Gaynor, who will perform her hit song I Will Survive.

Joining her at the top of the bill are 90s Madchester scene pioneers Happy Mondays, Bros superstar Matt Goss, and chart-topping DJ and producer Sigala.

The lineup also includes festival favourites Symphonic Ibiza and the Old Time Sailors, with more acts and special guests set to be announced in the new year.

The Heart and Soul stage, comedy tent, and free fairground rides will return, along with the Club Deva in collaboration with Chester's Rooftop Social Club.

Phil Marston, festival director, said: "Celebrating our fifth birthday in 2025 is a huge milestone, and we couldn’t be more excited about the incredible acts we’ve already secured.
