Whigfield is fronted by Sannie Charlotte Carlson, best known for her 1993 single Saturday Night, and DJ Sammy has released five albums and had five top-10 hits, including a cover of Bryan Adams' Heaven.

Clubland Live lasts from 4pm to 11pm and all festivalgoers must be 18 or over.
This follows the success of a Chris Moyles: 90s Hangover and Could Be Real Tribute Festival held at the football ground earlier this year.
More than 5,000 people attended the first concerts held at the home of Swindon Town FC in over a decade.
Organisers have listened to feedback about that event and made sure to book more food and drink vendors for next year’s concerts.
Swindon Town’s chief commercial officer James Watts said: "We are delighted to return with a weekend of music at The Nigel Eady County Ground in 2025.
"Securing a world-famous brand like Clubland shows what we are trying to do with developing our off-field offering to the people of Wiltshire by making the stadium a venue outside of the football season.
"We have spent months listening to feedback on our event in 2024 which was a huge success and we have already secured additional bars and food vendors for next year as we accept this was a problem early on during our first event this year."
"We will be announcing more details over the next few days of how the rest of the weekend will look and look forward to providing a great weekend of entertainment in 2025."
