Artists, presenters and sporting legends are set to join Mayors Steve Rotheram and Andy Burnham for a ‘DJ Battle’.

The pair will be taking to the decks on Friday, February 2, at Camp and Furnace, going head-to-head in a good-natured music battle with proceedings going to local homeless charities.

Ticket holders will be treated to the musical stylings of singers Rebecca Ferguson and Peter Hooton alongside former LFC star John Barnes. Manchester brings to the table Coronation Street actress Sally Lindsay, M-People’s Heather Small, and BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Nihal Arthanayake among others yet to be announced.

The charity event will be a round three re-match for the pair, with their first clash taking place online during the pandemic and a follow-up in-person event in Manchester last December, which raised over £25,000.

Proceeds from the night will be distributed between the Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester charities, with all funds supporting initiatives to tackle homelessness and end rough sleeping.

Tickets are available here.
