Carlisle Christmas Lights Switch-on
Christmas Lights Switch-On at Carlisle City Centre
Organised by Carlisle City Council, this free event will provide a packed family entertainment programme, to suit all ages. The star-studded Carlisle Christmas Lights Switch On stage will be in place in the city centre pedestrianised area, outside the Old Town Hall.
X Factor finalists ‘5 After Midnight’ will headline Carlisle’s Christmas Lights Switch-On event this year.
5 After Midnight rose to fame on The X Factor 2016 where they wowed TV audiences of millions week after week with their slick vocals and high energy dance routines, quickly gaining themselves a loyal fan base. Following the finale of the series, they signed to Syco Music, whose roster includes fellow X Factor alumni including Little Mix, Louis Tomlinson, James Arthur and Ella Henderson. 5 After Midnight are set to release four new tracks as part of a new EP called ‘The Sauce’ as anticipation for their debut album builds.
The 2016 finalists will be joined by other celebrity acts, The Beatbox Collective and Taken.
The Beatbox Collective are the reigning world beatbox champions. Individually they have won almost every beatbox competition in the world... together this vocal group creates a wall of sound.
Dublin's newest up and coming boyband 'Taken' have gone from strength to strength this last year. Made up of Ste Barron, Eoghan Mac Mahon and Richard Power, the band have toured the UK supporting acts including The Vamps and Union J, as well as headlining their own European tour this Autumn with multiple sell out shows in the likes of Newcastle, Glasgow, Dublin and Amsterdam.
Local dance groups and school choirs will join the celebrity acts at this year’s Carlisle Christmas Lights Switch On. There will be a showcase of local community groups and performers - Stevie D’s Faith, The Lakes Choir - Stagecoach Performing Arts; Kira Tickner; Carlisle Dance Academy and Stanwix Primary School.
The afternoon’s entertainment will also include a ‘stars of the future’ line up, including Jack Rose; Nathan Grisdale, Joseph and Thomas Teago.
The Mayor of Carlisle, Cllr Trish Vasey will trigger the lights in the city centre at 17:00. The Christmas Lights Switch-On is part of Carlisle's countdown to Christmas.
