Jason Manford is to host a free ‘street party’ event at the AO arena featuring a host of celebrity guests and music stars. Taking place on May 12, the party will feature performances from Kaiser Chiefs, Becky Hill, Steps, Tom Grennan, House Gospel Choir, Calum Scott, Nathan Dawe and Ella Henderson.
Singer and presenter Fleur East will be joining Manford on MC duties, while the entire arena will be decked out like a ‘street party’, featuring trestle tables, festoon lights and festive bunting. The event is being thrown by the National Lottery to help celebrate the Queen’s 70 year reign, being celebrated next month.
Manford said: “I’m delighted to be hosting The National Lottery’s Big Jubilee Street Party at Manchester's AO Arena in honour of The Queen. It'll be a huge celebration of our monarch’s extraordinary reign and a night of fantastic entertainment. The audience is in for a real treat.”
