Welcome to MCN Live! at Butlins and welcome to yet another

incredible, fun-packed weekend. MCN Live! weekends have

gained a reputation as the 48-hour non-stop party destination

and this year we’ve put in extra effort to make sure there will

never be a dull moment.

Once again we’ve pulled together stunning live acts,

unbelievable stunt shows and scores of credit crunch

busting trade stands to keep you entertained. Plus this

year, fingers crossed, you’ll be able to witness the UK’s

first gravity defying Sitting Circle Wheelie stunt performed

by Irish stunt rider Mattie Griffin.

The live entertainment venues are undoubtedly the

highlight of the weekend and this year we’ve decided

to shake things up by giving each venue a theme. You

can choose between the Party venue where 90s pop

sensation, ‘the one and only’ Chesney Hawkes will be

headlining on Saturday night, the Rock venue where

you can see top act Dead Ringer for Meatloaf and

if you fancy making a few shapes on the dance floor

we’ve a host of top DJs in the dance venue including

K-Klass and The Ratpack. But don’t overdo it on

Friday night as we’ve got the ever-popular ride out

on Saturday to a brand new destination.

I’ll be going along and will be around for the whole

weekend so if you spot me, say hello and let me

know what you think of the new look paper, our

website or the weekend. Enjoy!
