Carlisle Live

Carlisle Live is back and this year is set to be one of the biggest and best events yet in the north.

For the first time this outdoor pop spectacular will take place over the bank holiday weekend of Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th August with Boyzone headlining Saturday and McFly Sunday, plus support from lots of great musical talent.

Boyzone

Carlisle Live’s Saturday headliners Boyzone debuted in 1993 and have since achieved, amongst countless other accolades and awards, 15 million album sales, several sell out world tours and six UK Number Ones with hits such as “No Matter What” and “Back Again.” Late last year they announced a UK comeback tour, their first for eight years, and such is the excitement that the entire tour has now virtually sold out.

Speaking ahead of the event, Ronan Keating said, “We’re looking forwards to what promises to be an amazing gig and this is going to be extra special as Carlisle Live rounds off our 2008 tour!”

McFly at the Fan Park

McFly

Sunday’s headliners are the fantastic McFly, purveyors of some of the catchiest anthems of all time. In the three and a half years since they released their debut single, “Five Colours In Her Hair”, the band have enjoyed a soar-away success, achieving seven Number 1 singles and two Number 1 albums.

Tom Fletcher, McFly's frontman, said, "We are really excited to be headlining this year’s Carlisle Live on Sunday for some summer time festival action. We love performing live best of all and can’t wait to give all our fans a top show!"

The two day outdoor event will have something for everyone including kids’ entertainment, activities and lots of delicious food and drink served around Bitts Park.
