The ‘Xmas Roxy’ – which has already sold hundreds of tickets and is set to take place at the 02 Academy on Friday, December 10th – is putting its weight behind Cash for Kids Mission Christmas appeal.

The event is making a donation to the Cash For Kids charity with every ticket sold.

‘Xmas Roxy’ is set to deliver the biggest hit tunes from the ‘80s and ‘90s and is proving to be a popular destination for office Christmas parties.

Hundreds attended the ‘Back To The Roxy’ event in July – just weeks after the full lifting of coronavirus restrictions.

It was the first night out for 17 months for many of the crowd and they certainly made the best of it - scores got dressed up in elaborate ‘80s costumes to impersonate icons of the era like Adam Ant, Michael Jackson, Madonna and others.

Dirty Stop Outs’ Neil Anderson – who is helping organise the ‘Xmas Roxy’ event - said: “Demand for tickets has been amazing – I think this really is going to be a Xmas party to remember. Think the biggest dancefloor tunes of the 1980s and 1990s on one of the biggest dancefloors in the north of England. We are definitely going to make up for last Christmas that never happened!”

Prizes are up for grabs for the most elaborate costumes.
