Diana Vickers to Headline GF Pre-Game Show

[josie andrews]

The UK chart-topping artist, Diana Vickers, will headline a spectacular pre-match entertainment line-up at the Engage Super League Grand Final on Saturday October 2.

The English singer-songwriter and stage actress will perform a four-song set in the build up to the Grand Final, including her debut UK Number 1 single ‘Once'.

"I am really looking forward to what will be a hugely entertaining and unique evening in Manchester," said Vickers, who will release her next single "My Wicked Heart" on November 7.

"I have never played at a sporting event before, so performing on the Old Trafford pitch before the Engage Super League Grand Final will be very exciting and an amazing experience."

Old Trafford will also showcase Welsh operatic singer Rhydian Roberts, who will perform the Grand Final anthem ‘Jerusalem' before the teams emerge from the tunnel. Rhydian, who rose to fame on X Factor in 2007, will be joined by Popstars and Pop Idol star Darius Campbell who will provide half-time entertainment.

Tina Clare, Head of Brand from Engage Mutual, said: "We're delighted to be able to confirm a fantastic line-up of entertainment that will showcase this year's Engage Super League Grand Final.

"The exciting entertainment will no doubt contribute to an electric atmosphere in the stadium and we are sure that fans will enjoy what will be an event to remember."

Haha so that's what has happened to Darius.

[arthurb's first]

Diana WHO?... sounds riviting..again no expence spared by the RFL with pre match entertaining. At half time the stocks with eddie hemmings would be a GOOD idea, after an appology of course.

[Kittwazzer]

I will hold my hands up and admit I've never heard of her. Or any of the other names mention for that matter. Jedward excepting of course!

I think it was the 1985 Okell's Shield when Tony Christie led the Community Singing. He was brilliant!

He was topping the bill at Douglas Casino and we had managed to blag some comps. I was with him at the upstairs bar after the show. When I say 'with him' I mean moidering the arse off him actually as I was off my face by then! I seem to recall referee Ronnie Campbell discreetly shepherding me away and back to my seat.

Can't buy memories like that. Happy days indeed!

Can you imagine Darius saying "Can you feel the love in this stadium?" with Wigan playing Saints. :eusa4:

[Rhyfelwr Cymru]

Ha ha, i've just asked the missis who feck she is.

Thats poor, she shouldn't headline in the Nags Head.

Saw Diana Vickers in Little Voice whilst staying in London, thought she was pretty decent in that.
