Let's Rock will be celebrating some of the best music and most loved acts from the 1980s with the online free-to-view Let's Rock Christmas Show on December 1, 2020.
Headliners Tony Hadley, Kim Wilde, Go West, Nik Kershaw and T' Pau, will be joined by guests Katrina, Jona Lewie, Rick Parfitt Jnr, Jaki Graham and Brother Beyond for the show which can be seen from 7.30pm on the Let's Rock
Facebook channels and YouTube.
Let's Rock is a series of 12 one-day festivals which usually happen across the UK throughout the summer. Following the postponement of the Let's Rock 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, organisers decided to put together Let's Rock Christmas to provide fans with some festive joy.
Festive: Go West
The festival had great success in May when a charity show,
LockdownFest, was livestreamed to raise money for official charity partner Child Bereavement UK.
LockdownFest 2 followed in July. More than £178,000 was donated and the event attracted an estimated audience of three million.
Independently run and owned, UK Live has raised over £640,000 for
Child Bereavement UK since the first Let's Rock, staged in 2009 in Cookham, Berkshire. Since then, Let's Rock has grown, with 2019 proving the most successful summer series in its 11-year history – 12 festival locations and a total audience of over 150,000.
