McFly in Manchester evening news!

Artikeln kommer från Manchester Evening News:

"HUNKY Boltonian Danny Jones and his band McFly will make a live return to the region at a week long festival of music in Wigan.

The pop-rock band kicks off five nights of events on July 5 in the grounds of Haigh Hall, Wigan, with support from young upstarts Twenty Twenty.

In a star studded week that follows, Katherine Jenkins, The Saturdays and Boyzone’s Ronan Keating headline while Alesha Dixon and N-Dubz share a bill. Supporting performances come from Tinie Tempah, French tenor Amaury Vassili and lad band The Wanted – featuring Rihanna rumoured new squeeze Siva Kaneswaran.

But McFly’s cheeky frontman Tom Fletcher tells me that he’s not worried about playing an outdoor gig on the doorstep of Britain’s rainy city. “Some of the best shows we’ve ever done have been when it’s been raining,” he laughs.

“Outdoor gigs are always a lot of fun because they’re unusual venues. We’re really looking forward to playing at Haigh Hall.”

Tom says the band might even air a couple of songs from their new album, due out later this year. “We’re not finished with the album yet, but we’ve been recording it for a year,” he reveals.

“It sounds amazing, it’s gone really well; we’re so excited about it that we’re taking our time with it to make sure we get it right.

“We’ve been working with different people and experimenting with different producers and sounds. We’ve worked with Dallas Austin, who is a legendary pop and urban producer, and so that might filter in a little!

“But we’ve been concentrating so much on the new songs that it’s nice to get back out and play the classics.”

Tickets are available for all shows www.wlct.org/concerts."

Info om Haigh Hall

Hemsidan WiganToday har lagt upp lite mer info om konserten som McFly ska ha i sommar:
Det ska tydligen vara ännu fler artister som uppträder...

McFly to play Haigh Hall

Chart-toppers McFly and glamorous girl band the Saturdays have been signed to play Haigh Hall this summer.

The groups will perform in the country house grounds as part of one of the biggest series of gigs ever to take place in the borough.

The Wigan Life Tuned-In Concerts run for five days from Monday July 5 to Friday July 9 and more big names could be unveiled soon.

Organisers are currently negotiating with three other acts, but are keeping tight-lipped over their identities.

All the acts will perform in an open-air arena near to Haigh Hall.

Pete Burt, executive director for service development with organisers Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, said: "This concert series will bring some of the very biggest names in the music business into the borough's back yard and because it's close to both the M6 and M61 it's within easy reach for the whole of the North West."

The remaining three acts to be signed up for the concerts will only be unveiled in March, but that didn't stop speculation as to who they could be.
