The Lakes, F3INT , The Velvetines and Radio Addicts billed as aspirational, young, powerful bands will be performing on the night. With a mix of self-penned songs , organisers say will have the audience cheering throughout.
The Lakes are a tight, contemporary indie band, F3INT produce their own brand of technical, contemporary alt-rock, whilst The Velvetines are great, upbeat modern indie and the pseudo-punk style musings of Radio Addicts. With catch-laden songs provided by all four bands throughout the night, organisers say that "you’ll be singing them for weeks afterwards and reliving the experience over and over". Rachel said: ""I'm honoured to be asked to host such an important event in Bolton.
These young bands deserve a break and a chance to show off what they can do. Young people are the future of music." Starting at 7pm and running until late, the event is open to any age group, but under 16s will need accompanied by an adult.
Tickets are available online, at The Roundhouse or Booths Music and people can pay on the door too. Tickets are £8.00 and will be helping make someone’s life better.
