Superstar DJs MistaJam and Craig Charles will perform at Preston’s ‘biggest ever night-time party’ in January 2016 after agreeing to appear at Prestfest’s Purple Party. In the form of a huge free gig on the Flag Market, with thousands of free tickets being made available for the event.
A world-class sound and lighting system, together with a live visual and FX show, will create an outdoor nightclub with the special guest DJs performing to the audience from the balcony of the historic Harris Museum and Art Gallery.
MistaJam, an international name through presenting on BBC Radio One and performing at the UK’s biggest festivals and weekly residencies at some of the world’s best super clubs such as Ibiza Rocks and Mallorca’s BCM, will perform a headline set.
And BBC Radio Two’s DJ Craig Charles, well known for his TV career having played Lister in Red Dwarf, presented Robot Wars and spent 10 years in Coronation Street, will perform his hugely popular live funk and soul set.
BID manager Mark Whittle said: “We are delighted to announce two huge names from the DJ circuit to our Purple Party in January.
“We have been promising this will be the biggest free night-time party Preston has ever seen since we first launched the event in late September and now we can truly back that up.
“We have two acts that are incredibly well known between them and will appeal to a wide and varied audience, which is exactly what we want to attract to our great city.
“The whole point of the Purple Party is to get thousands of people into the city early on to enjoy a good time before heading out into our local nightspots to enjoy what Preston has to offer – award-winning nightlife and a huge welcome.
