SWITCH-ON NEXT WEEK ๐กโจ
Can you believe it? Weโre just one week away from the big night when the famous Blackpool Illuminations light up the Promenade once again!
This yearโs Switch-On celebration is set to be a fantastic evening of live music and entertainment.
Olly Murs will take to the stage in an enclosed arena for a special one-hour set before flicking the switch to launch the Illuminations season.
Heโll be joined by Toploader, X Factor winner Louisa Johnson, and the brilliant Blackpool Introduces showcase, shining a spotlight on some of the best local talent.
