Noughties boy band Blue will headline The Big Day Out
ONE of the most iconic boy bands of the noughties, Blue, will be heading to Limerick this summer as they headline the annual Big Day Out.
Ireland’s 90s & 00s Festival The Big Day Out has fast become the pop party to beat all pop parties and Blue will be joined by a stellar lineup of your favourite poptastic acts including Peter Andre, Heather Small (the voice of M-People), DJ Sash!, Ultrabeat, Whigfield, Tall Paul, N-Trance and Mark Mc Cabe. The event will take place in TUS Gaelic Grounds on August 23.
Nearly 25 years since the release of their very first single ‘All Rise’, Blue’s Duncan, Lee, Simon and Anthony have achieved phenomenal success topping the charts with pop classics such as ‘One Love’, ‘If You Come Back’ and ‘Breathe Easy’. With worldwide sales of over 15 million records, Blue remain one of the UK’s best-selling boy bands.
