We are officially launching the #RLNewEra with a fans event ‘Rugby league Rocks’ on Sunday 1 February at the Victoria Warehouse, Stretford, Manchester M17 1AB. Rugby League Rocks will start at 6.00pm with a 60 minute entertainment show starting at 6.30pm. The show will be along the lines of Top Gear meets League of their Own with a live audience of rugby league fans, live music, video, players on stage and fan interaction. We would really appreciate it if you could send one player to the event to represent your club on stage. The event will finish at 9pm.
Hosted by former European & Commonwealth champion Iwan Thomas, BBC presenter Mark Chapman and sports broadcaster Natalie Quirk, Rugby League Rocks is an all-action live show that will usher in an exciting new era for the sport.
Reverend and the Makers, fronted by lead singer John McClure, supported Oasis on the largest stadium tour of the UK and Ireland in 2009 and have played at famous venues throughout the country. The Sheffield-based band have released four albums including most recently ‘Thirty Two’ and will be playing a memorable set including their top 10 single ‘Heavyweight Champion of the World’.
Rugby AM presenter Alex Simmons will be on hand to entertain the crowd with a live DJ set and the Rugby League Rockettes will be performing a series of dance routines to excite and warm-up the fans.
The event will have added stardust from a host of Rugby League stars including Ryan Hall, Eorl Crabtree, Gareth Ellis, Keiran Dixon, Josh Charnley, Dan Sarginson, Paddy Flynn, Chris Hill, Kyle Amor, Scott Moore, Chris Riley, Mason Caton-Brown, Paul Wood and Chev Walker.
Newlyweds Ryan Hall and Chris Hill will be putting their relationships on the line as they take part in a ‘Mr & Mrs’-style quiz to see if they really are the perfect match with their partners.
Fans will also see their hero’s quizzed and challenged in numerous activities at Rugby League Rocks on what will be an evening to remember.
Super League General Manager Blake Solly said: “To welcome in the new era with a fantastic entertainment package including Reverend and the Makers just shows how exciting 2015 is going to be for fans, players and everyone involved in Rugby League.
“Supporters are going to get the chance to interact with the extraordinary athletes of our game as they entertain the crowd.
“Rugby League Rocks marks the beginning of an exciting journey for our sport. The start of the First Utility Super League, Kingstone Press Championship and League 1 are just around the corner and will quickly be followed by the World Club Series, Summer Bash in Blackpool, Magic Weekend in Newcastle, Ladbrokes Challenge Cup, the Million Pound Game, Grand Final and the Autumn International Series against New Zealand. 2015 will be a memorable year.”
