Welcome to MCN Live! at Butlins and welcome to yet another
incredible, fun-packed weekend. MCN Live! weekends have
gained a reputation as the 48-hour non-stop party destination
and this year we’ve put in extra effort to make sure there will
never be a dull moment.
Once again we’ve pulled together stunning live acts,
unbelievable stunt shows and scores of credit crunch
busting trade stands to keep you entertained. Plus this
year, fingers crossed, you’ll be able to witness the UK’s
first gravity defying Sitting Circle Wheelie stunt performed
by Irish stunt rider Mattie Griffin.
The live entertainment venues are undoubtedly the
highlight of the weekend and this year we’ve decided
to shake things up by giving each venue a theme. You
can choose between the Party venue where 90s pop
sensation, ‘the one and only’ Chesney Hawkes will be
headlining on Saturday night, the Rock venue where
you can see top act Dead Ringer for Meatloaf and
if you fancy making a few shapes on the dance floor
we’ve a host of top DJs in the dance venue including
K-Klass and The Ratpack. But don’t overdo it on
Friday night as we’ve got the ever-popular ride out
on Saturday to a brand new destination.
I’ll be going along and will be around for the whole
weekend so if you spot me, say hello and let me
know what you think of the new look paper, our
website or the weekend. Enjoy!
