We are beyond excited to announce the full line up for Mecca Fest! Hosted by our creative director, Joe Swash, we’re going to pack the Blackpool Tower Ballroom with some of the most recognisable faces and the greatest entertainers.

Joe Swash
Joe Swash is a much-loved household name. Best known as cheeky chappie Mickey Miller in EastEnders, Joe won our hearts and the crown in I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here back in 2008. As creative director, Joe is working with our fab crew to pick the acts and plan Mecca Fest.

Sister Sledge
With dance floors all over the world set alight with the contagious joy and expression in their music, Sister Sledge is blessed and honoured to have provided the soundtrack to countless lives. Hailing from Philadelphia PA, Sister Sledge has become a shining symbol of unity with their 1979 world-wide hit and iconic album ‘We are Family’.

Peter Andre
Peter Andre smashed onto the music scene with his number 1 singles Mysterious Girl and Flava. He is also known for appearing on the third series of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and the 13th series of Strictly Come Dancing. You can now see his lovely face as a regular on TV’s favourite shows This Morning and Loose Women.

Robin & Kristina
Stars of Strictly Come Dancing, Robin and Kristina have dazzled the crowds with their routines.  They’ve also taken their partnership off the Strictly Dance Floor, with them both headlining Burn the Floor in London’s West End and the theatre show ‘Puttin on the Ritz’. The Partnership has taken them all over the world, from charity events to Strictly Cruise Ship events.

Rak-Su
Formed in Watford, Myles Stephenson, Ashley Fongho, Jamaal Shurland and Mustafa Rahimtulla are Rak Su. The name comes from a shortened version of ‘Tracks v. Suits’ – which represents ‘music and fun vs. adult life’. Rak Su is the only boy group to have ever won The X Factor, where they wowed viewers week in and week out with their original music and undeniable charm. From chart triumphs to touring with Olly Murs and Little Mix, the band has seen great success within the industry.
