Summer is set to kick off early in Southend-On-Sea as US disco band Shalamar visit the town to play in Garon Park. They will be joined by special guests at an event that will take place all afternoon and evening on Saturday 25th May 2019. The disco legends also have 2018 winter dates, coming to London's Indigo at the O2 on Saturday 24th November and the O2 Ritz in Manchester on Tuesday 27th November.

Shalamar were one of the biggest groups in the latter days of disco, emerging in 1978 with the hit 'A Night To Remember'. They followed it with songs like 'Right In The Socket' and the evergreen 'Take That To The Bank', which became as loved on the disco underground as they were in the charts.

The band also scored further hits with songs like 'The Second Time Around' and as the 1980s progressed they were one of the few groups who managed to transition from the late 70s disco sound into a more electronic 80s sound. Scoring hits throughout that period, their songs were heard on the same dancefloors as electro and early hip hop and on the then popular UK soul scene. The band have always courted a significant following in the UK.
