[pearcy2k8]

I am just wondering what the band line up is for today's switch on from 2pm with Real Radio.

Only confirmed bands I know of is Scouting for girls and Zingzillas.

 

Thanks.

It’s the biggest day in the city’s festive calendar and this year's Christmas Lights Switch On will be an exciting day for the whole family. Real Radio have announced that the winner of the X Factor 2009 Joe McElderry will be switching on the lights at 5pm.

 

This free city centre event will take place between 1pm and 5.30pm. The main stage at Barkers Pool will host a line-up of musical stars introduced throughout the afternoon by Real Radio presenters between 2pm and 5pm.. And for the first time ever Sheffield City Council can confirm a new pop sensation performance for kids and families on The Moor.

 

Zak, Panzee, Tang, and Drum better known as CBeebies newest pop craze The ZingZillas, will play a very special gig at The Moor Christmas tree switch on at 3pm as well as waving to the crowds during several appearances on the Town Hall steps throughout the afternoon.

 

Sheffield theatres’ cast of Christmas musical Me and My Girl and pantomime Peter Pan will be joining forces to help illuminate the city.

 

Families can expect a wide variety of entertainment and rides on and around The Moor, Barkers Pool, the Peace Gardens, Tudor Square, Fargate, Surrey Street and Pinstone Street. Younger children will enjoy children’s story time and puppet shows in the Winter Garden, have the chance to see a real life nativity and get up-close to Rudolph and his friends on The Moor.

 

For everyone’s safety and enjoyment children should be accompanied by adults at all times.
