What an incredible weekend it has been, with our amazing Hits Live with Holiday Inn Express shows taking place in Birmingham on Friday 24th November, and then continuing the fun over in Manchester on Saturday 25th. In a weekend we won't forget, we had amazing performances from Lost Frequencies, Rita Ora, Tom Walker, James Arthur, Maisie Peters, Cian Ducrot, Mae Stephens, Anne-Marie, Jax Jones, Calum Scott, Becky Hill, Tom Grennan AND Busted.
