WHERE: Exchange Square, Manchester

DATE: 7th and 8th October, 2022

TIME: 11am – 7pm

first direct is giving up and coming bands, The Royston Club, Dead Pony and L’objectifan opportunity to share their latest tracks with the people of Manchester, the music capital of the UK.

As long-standing partners of the first direct Arena in Leeds, the digital bank is committed to levelling the playing field within the music industry. The bands were invited to the venue last month, where each performed three of their most recent songs with full production on the stage which has seen the likes of Stormzy and Dua Lipa play to thousands of fans.

Films from the show will be shared with music lovers, who can relax and enjoy tracks from the three bands at an experience in the centre of Manchester on 7th and 8th October.

As well as enjoying the music, visitors will have the opportunity to win a variety of prizes including VIP tickets to the first direct Arena and band merchandise.

Chris Pitt, CEO, at first direct said: “We’re passionate about helping bands break into the music industry, so we’re really excited to give these artists this very special platform. We know Manchester, which is famed for its thriving music scene, is the perfect place to showcase their talents and we look forward to celebrating these up and coming artists with the city’s many music lovers.”

Saul Kane from L’objectif said: “It was a great experience to get a taste of a stage that big. We just had a lot of fun playing as we usually do but it’s not often you get to do it on a stage that size. Hopefully it won’t be the last time.”

Anna Shileds from Dead Pony said: “Taking part in first direct bank’s ‘direct to stage’ was absolutely nuts. It felt surreal to play a stage that large and imagine that we were playing to 10s of thousands of people, which is the goal for the band”

Tom Faithfull from The Royston Club said: “Walking into the arena for the first time was a pretty surreal experience and we all just felt very lucky to be playing our music there, and to be part of first direct bank’s direct to stage campaign.”
