Jess, Craig and the boys from The Vamps were fantastic and gave their fans brilliant performances they will remember for a long time.
In a brand new set of shorts from BBC Music, available exclusively on BBC iPlayer today, The Vamps, Craig David and Jess Glynne each give lucky fans an experience many only dream about - their very own live performance.
Thinking they are on their way to a music focus group they’ve signed up to, unsuspecting fans get into a lift that comes to an abrupt halt. Soon, they find themselves hanging out and dancing away at personal gig with their favourite act.
You can watch Lift Music exclusively on BBC iPlayer now as The Vamps get up to mischief in the financial district Craig David brings new meaning to ‘garage’ as he takes over a London carpark and Jess Glynne scales new heights with landmark performances at the top of The Shard.
Lift Music will also be shown on the CBBC Channel beginning on 19 July 2016 at 8pm.
The Vamps, said: “We always love finding ways of surprising our dedicated fans, but Lift Music has to be one of the more unusual ones we’ve done. They really seemed to enjoy themselves. As they came out of the lift, they genuinely seemed to have no idea what was happening and their faces just lit up with excitement.”
James Stirling, Editor, BBC Music says: “Every music fan wants the chance to meet their music heroes, but few think they will ever receive such a personal performance as they do with ‘Lift Music’. Jess, Craig and the boys from The Vamps were fantastic and gave their fans brilliant performances they will remember for a long time. We are very excited to share these moments with people on BBC iPlayer.”
