A spokesman for the event said: “Belper Soul & Disco Festival showcases some of the finest DJs in the UK to delight attendees with 12 hours of constant music beginning midday and finishing at midnight.”
The 2026 headliner is Wigan Casino founder DJ Russ Winstanley.
He will be playing a special classic northern soul set from 10pm till midnight at The Lion Hotel, Belper.
One ticket will give visitors a wristband that allows them access to all of the participating venues.
