Yorkshire Rockstars Needed For LA Gig!

A lucky Yorkshire rock band or solo artiste may soon be winging their way to Downtown LA with the chance to play a gig at one of the US’ most iconic live music venues, The Roxy.





To celebrate its new route between Manchester and LA, Virgin Atlantic has announced its search for the North’s next big thing on the music scene so that it can give a talented unknown a major boost.

The career launching opportunity, which extends to anyone within a two hour drive of Manchester Airport, will offer a fledgling headliner, or group, the chance to take to the stage on Sunset Strip where The Roxy has played host to some of history’s most iconic names since the early 70’s including Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Bob Marley and The Ramones.

Entrants will be shortlisted by an expert panel, including Virgin Records’ Managing Director, Clive Cawley, and former Oasis and current Ride guitarist, Andy Bell, as well as a public vote.

To be crowned winner, finalists will then perform live in front of the judging panel at Manchester Airport, proving they have what it takes to play The Roxy. The winning band or artist will then head to LA on the inaugural flight on Sunday 26th May, rockstar style, seated in Upper Class, before taking to the stage at The Roxy for a one-night-only performance.

To top off the experience, Andy Bell will join the winner(s) in LA to offer his expert advice and support.

Virgin Atlantic will fly three times a week from Manchester to LA from Sunday 26 May 2019. For more information on the new route and to enter Headline the Roxy please visit https://m.emails.virginatlantic.com/webApp/PAPP46. **
