What is “Late at the Show”?

“Late at the Show” is the official evening concert that rounds off the first day of the Royal Cheshire County Show — one of the North West’s most iconic agricultural and community events. Over the past few years, it’s become a must-attend celebration for visitors of all ages, bringing festival vibes to the showground long after the daytime events wrap up.

Produced by Happy Radio, the North West’s fastest-growing feel-good station, Late at the Show combines the best of live music, local talent, and family entertainment into one spectacular open-air concert.

Now entering its fourth year, this lively evening has quickly become one of Cheshire’s favourite summer nights out. Whether you’re a die-hard music fan, a family looking for wholesome fun, or a group of friends ready to dance under the sunset, this event has something for everyone.

The Headliner: Darren Proctor’s Grown Up Disco

Get ready to dance, sing, and sparkle because the 2026 headliner is none other than Darren Proctor’s Grown Up Disco — and it’s going to be epic!

Known for creating an atmosphere packed with pure energy and feel-good nostalgia, Darren Proctor’s Grown Up Disco has taken the North West by storm. Expect a night filled with non-stop dance classics, chart-topping anthems, and the biggest hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s.

With over two million records sold worldwide, Angie’s voice is guaranteed to get every single person on their feet, singing along to one of the most iconic dance tracks of all time.

And just when you think it can’t get any better… it does!
