Final names added to Summer Sessions Café Mambo Ibiza in the Park show

The acts complete a stacked line-up alongside Melanie C, Jax Jones and Fedde Le Grand who will be coming together for a night of Balearic beats at Bedford Park on Friday, July 11.

All are the latest to join the town’s Summer Sessions line up which takes place across two weekends in July.

Following a sell-out debut last year, Café Mambo Ibiza in the Park is returning with an even bigger line-up.

One of the most in-demand duos in house music, Lovely Laura & Ben Santiago have become a firm fixture on the White Isle, holding residencies at Café Mambo and Ibiza Rocks while lighting up legendary venues like Space, Pacha, Ushuaïa, Amnesia and Hï Ibiza.

Known for their fusion of live saxophone and soulful DJ sets, they’ve taken their Ibiza sound worldwide, performing at Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Lollapalooza, and more.

The duo also have more than 55 million video views and a UK Podcast No.1 to their name.

CHLO will be bringing her passion for house music to the Summer Sessions.

From her roots as a dancer to becoming a dedicated raver and now a DJ, she knows exactly how to ignite a dancefloor.

Refusing to be confined to a single sound, her versatile sets have made her a standout at some of London’s biggest parties, including Lovejuice and Forward Motion.

Also joining the line-up is Bedford-based producer FIVEPAST5 whose musical journey began with R&B and hip-hop influences before a life-changing trip to Ibiza ignited his love for electronic dance music.

Since then, he has built a reputation for delivering hard-hitting basslines and euphoric vocals, earning support from BBC Radio 1, Select Radio, and Data Transmission.

Organisers of the Bedford Summer Sessions are giving fans the chance to upgrade their night, with anyone purchasing tickets before Monday, March 31, at midday, or who has already bought, automatically entered into a draw to win four free VIP Terrace upgrades for Café Mambo Ibiza in the Park.
