Glasgow singing sensation Amy Macdonald is headlining the live music
stage at Wales Rally GB, the final round of the FIA World Rally
Championship, courtesy of 96.4 FM The Wave and 1170 AM Swansea Sound.
Amy has added Friday 30 November to her sell-out UK tour and will take
to the stage at the rally's Service Park at Swansea's SA1 Waterfront
location.
This year Wales Rally GB is celebrating its 75th anniversary and Amy's
performance is just one part of the programme lined up to honour the
event's rich history and give spectators a top-class entertainment
experience. Highlights at the all-new Service Park include ViperJet
boat demonstrations, a big screen with the latest rally news, stunt
driving demonstrations and Amy Macdonald.
The 20-year-old singer/songwriter is no stranger to a live audience -
she first took to the stage at the age of 15. This year has seen the
release of the young starlet's debut album 'This is the life' and debut
single 'Poison Prince'. Amy is currently touring throughout the UK on
her first tour.
"We are delighted to confirm Amy has added Wales Rally GB to her
sell-out UK tour," commented Andrew Coe, Chief Executive of Wales Rally
GB. "This year is the first time that the Service Park will be at the
spectacular SA1 Waterfront location. Here, spectators can soak up the
World Rally 'circus' of over 100 rally teams that will be there to
contest both the World and British Rally Championships, as well as
enjoy the fantastic entertainment schedule we have planned, from the
Sambe Tawe, the Swansea based percussion and dance outfit to a
fantastic fireworks display on Friday evening (30 November)."
Tickets for the SA1 Service Park, giving a full day's access to all the
entertainment, can be bought on the gate and cost just £5 for adults
and £2.50 for children.
