Final acts for Big Gig in the Park announced

Monday 13 February 2017

Five After Midnight and Calum Scott have been announced as acts for the Sure Big Gig in the Park.

The two acts both rose to fame on UK talent shows and will be joining headline act Olly Murs, and 2015 X-Factor winner Louisa Johnson at the event on 15 July, 2017.

The announcement completes the line-up for the music event at Howard Davis Park.

Calum Scott rose to fame on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015. Last year he released his single ‘Dancing On My Own’ which reached number two in the UK singles chart and was the most downloaded song of the summer in the UK.

British boy band, Five After Midnight, were finalists on X-Factor 2016 and are due to release their debut single later this year.

Caroline Strachan, Event Owner and organiser of the Big Gig in the Park said: “Every year, Sure Big Gig in the Park aims to be at the pulse of pop culture and bring island fans closer to the musicians and experiences they love. To see the event come into its eighth year is a fantastic achievement for the team and is great news for the charities involved.”

Big Gig in the Park is a charity event and this year it will be raising money for ‘Help a Jersey Child’ and “Brighter Futures’.

Louise Burrows, Head of Marketing at Sure said of their sponsorship: “To be associated with one of the most successful charity music events in Jersey, that brings such big names to the island is an absolute pleasure.”
