Additions to Blackpool Illuminations Switch-on line-up announced
The Wombats and Ella Henderson will be joining the party!
Two more top musical talents are joining the Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On line-up.
They are The Wombats, one of the UK’s most successful indie band, and multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter Ella Henderson.
The Wombats and Ella will perform in the world-famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom on the night of Friday 3 September along with KSI, and another of the country’s hottest new talents, Wes Nelson, in a concert that will be live streamed to a global audience.
The start of the four-month display will be started with a display by the queen of the ballroom and the head judge on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing - Shirley Ballas.
The concert, produced in association with MTV, will be hosted by TV and radio presenter Becca Dudley and live streamed across MTV and VisitBlackpool channels. Last year, it attracted a global audience of more than 250,000 households.
Around 1,500 tickets will initially be available to join the live audience. The ballot has now closed and winners will be informed in the week commencing August 16.
The ticket allocation is being split equally between local residents and visitors.
The live stream will start at 8pm on Friday 3 September and can be viewed free of charge here.
This year’s Blackpool Illuminations will run from Friday 3 September to Monday 3 January, 2022.
