John Newman is first huge act confirmed for Free Radio Live 2015

Chart topping singer-songwriter John Newman is the first music star to be announced as part of the line-up for this year’s Free Radio Live 2015, taking place on Saturday 28^th November at Birmingham’s Genting Arena.

The announcement was made just after 8.00am this morning on breakfast shows across the Free Radio network. On joining the line-up John Newman said: “Really looking forward to getting back up to Birmingham for Free Radio Live. The crowds there are always incredible so it should be a great night. See you all there!”

The Yorkshire-born musician first shot to fame in Spring 2012, featuring on the smash hit Rudimental track ‘Feel The Love’. A year later, Newman released his debut single ‘Love Me Again’, which reached number one in the UK, and was later nominated for a BRIT Award.

Now in its sixth year, multi-artist music event Free Radio Live brings some of the biggest stars from the world of music to The Midlands, to perform in front of a 12,500 strong crowd. Previous years have seen world class acts such as Ed Sheeran, Little Mix and Olly Murs take to the stage.

A record two thirds of tickets have already been sold, and event organisers are urging music fans to buy theirs quickly to avoid disappointment, “Tickets for Free Radio Live are in high demand, more so than ever before. With over two thirds being sold before we had even announced our first artist, John Newman, and with more big names to come in the next few days, we expect the remaining tickets to sell very quickly,” said Andy Price, Free Radio’s Marketing Director.
