Devonshire Green was positively glowing on Sunday 27th July, and it wasn’t due to sunshine! The Sparkle Sistaz lit up the Tramlines Fringe stage with a fierce and fabulous  DJ set that was full of joy!

From the first beat of “Born This Way” to the final chorus of “Hot Hot Hot,” the Sistaz served up a summer soundtrack that spanned decades and genres, all with their signature sparkle. Whether you were an S Club 7 fan or a Madonna devotee, there was something for everyone—and every track came with a side of sass, smiles, and sensational moves.

This year’s performance wasn’t just a party—it was a celebration of growth, confidence, and pure star quality.

Notable moments that really demonstrated how hard the group have worked this year:

• Alice is clearly 'over' her fear of heights, and she danced onto that stage like she owned it—because she did. She was unstoppable. We’re still cheering!
• Kathryn, one of our most experienced DJs, didn’t just rock her own set—she ran the whole show. With Moony ready in the wings if needed, Kathryn took the reins and kept things flowing like a pro.
• And let’s talk about Billie and Beckz, our support staff who couldn’t resist busting out some moves themselves. Nice work ladies!

At Under the Stars, we believe in the power of creativity to uplift, empower, and connect. The Sparkle Sistaz don’t just play music, they make magic. They challenge expectations, celebrate individuality, and show the world what it means to be truly seen and heard for who you are.

We may not have had the Lord Mayor at our show this year, but the Fringe staff still made us feel like royalty. Their support, warmth, and enthusiasm reminded us why The Tramlines Fringe is one of our favourite places to shine.

To everyone who cheered, danced, and partied with us, thank you. The Sparkle Sistaz will be back, brighter than ever next year.
