Hampton Court Palace Festival: Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Palace Disco

On 19 June 2026 at Hampton Court Palace, Sophie Ellis-Bextor brings her Palace Disco for a one-night set that dives into two decades of dance-pop. First heard fronting indie outfit Theaudience, she switched lanes with the smooth nu-disco of Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love) and never left the floor. Since Read My Lips, Shoot from the Hip and Trip the Light Fantastic, her catalogue has threaded sleek pop, disco shimmer and a touch of new wave, before branching into more orchestral shades with The Song Diaries and the at-home energy of Songs from the Kitchen Disco.

Live, expect a tight band and a setlist built to move: Groovejet, Murder on the Dancefloor, Take Me Home and other staples alongside later highlights and recent cuts from Hana. It’s Sophie in full party mode, balancing club-rooted bangers with melodic pop that sticks. As part of Hampton Court Palace Festival, Palace Disco turns the historic courtyard into a laid-back dancefloor where hooks, harmonies and polished beats do the talking.
