Irish pop star Samantha Mumba will no longer headline this weekend’s Pride celebrations.

Instead, disco legends, Boney M, featuring Maizie Williams, is set to take the top slot on the Barclays Main Stage at Pride in Liverpool this Saturday, July 30. They will be replacing Samantha Mumba, who will now not be able to perform at the festival due to difficulty with travel from the US.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Caribbean foursome were renowned for their “unmistakable mix of reggae, disco, funk, gospel, soul and rock producing an endless stream of unforgettable, sensational hits" including ‘Daddy Cool’, ‘Rivers of Babylon’ and ‘Rasputin’.
