~Preston is far from a defeated city. Despite the current lockdown circumstances it’s finding new and innovative ways to bring the party direct to your home.

Simply known as ‘Preston at Night Live’ its billed to stage 12 hours of some of the finest music over the years, covering such genres as R&B, soul, dance and house.

The music will be produced by top digital quality audio and visuals and the virtual party will feature an exclusive set from DJ StoneBridge who will be performing live at Prestfest this September.

It will be managed by the city’s Business Improvement District (BID). A spokesperson from Preston BID expressed their excitement in anticipation of the gig:-

“There have been some great livestreams from DJs and individual venues to date, but we think Preston will be the first destination to host a broadcast like this featuring multiple venues and performers from one city… literally a day or night out at your favourite venues, but online.”

Brian Hudson is chiefly in charge. Brian was responsible for organising a number of Tokyo Jo’s Reunion events, and will also host the online broadcast.

Brian relates the concept behind the broadcast,

“I came up with the idea after the Tokyo Jo’s Reunion livestream. We had over 16,000 listeners for that so I knew there was scope for people sat at home with nothing to do and wanting to be entertained. It will be a showcase of Preston city centre venues and our way of saying, ‘We’re still here, we’re missing you, and we can’t wait for this to be over so we can all have a massive party together again’.”

This amazing experience will take place on Saturday 25th April at 2pm and will conclude at 2am on Sunday 26th April 2020. The interactive live stream will take requests and will include messages of support for people taking the lead during this crisis.

The event will be broadcast on Twitch, and messages and requests can be sent via WhatsApp to 07493 897671.

A selection of DJs from Preston’s best-loved venues are teaming up to stage a virtual all-day party.
