UK Live, the Organisers of a number of postponed Let’s Rock festivals due to take place across the UK, have organised an online 80s Lockdown Fest on Saturday, May 16th from 7pm.
Raising money for charity partner Child Bereavement UK, the festival will be hosted by Pat Sharp and Dave Benson Phillips and will feature Tony Hadley, Wet Wet Wet, Jason Donovan, Midge Ure, Toyah and many more.
A spokesman for UK Live said: “We would really like to thank both our audience and the artists for their amazing support and loyalty, and we really can’t wait to come back bigger and better.
“We all need a little pick me up so we thought why can’t we do a festival ‘off the field’, taking into consideration self-distancing of course.
“Okay, we’re not all together in a field with a drink in hand enjoying the atmosphere, but we can all live through it together on our screens, and hopefully we can also raise some much-needed funds for the incredible charity Child Bereavement UK.”
The festival will be streamed across all the Let’s Rock location Facebook pages as well as on YouTube from 7pm.
Child Bereavement UK supports families who have experienced the loss of a child, and has received more than £500,000 from UK Live in the last few years.
The festival will be streamed completely free on YouTube but donations are encouraged at Child Bereavement UK.
