Boney M. are taking over Chester Cathedral for one night only—and yes, that's the actual cathedral, not some metaphorical venue. The legendary pop-disco outfit will deliver their greatest hits inside one of England's most striking Gothic spaces. If you've ever wanted to hear 'Night Flight to Venus' echo off 900 years of stonework, this is your moment.

Boney M. perform live on Friday, 23 October 2026, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The disco pioneers will run through their extensive catalogue of hits—expect 'Daddy Cool', 'Rivers of Babylon', 'Rasputin', and the rest of their glittering back catalogue. It's a full three-hour performance inside the Cathedral, with minimum age 12.
The vibe
Imagine the energy of a proper disco night, but filtered through centuries-old arches and stained glass. There's something surreal about a sequin-laden, high-octane pop-disco show in a consecrated space—and that's precisely what makes this work. It's irreverent, joyful, and undeniably fun. You'll get devoted Boney M. fans, families, and curious onlookers all united under one ornate roof.
Getting tickets
Tickets are available through Skiddle. Exact pricing hasn't been published yet, but expect standard live-music rates for a venue and act of this calibre. Book early—a show this unusual won't hang around long.
