Thursday 30 May 2013

Rampworx Skatepark, Lekwith Road, Liverpool

 

Nokia and La Blogotheque are proud to announce that soul songstress Lianne La Havas will headline the third leg of the Lumia Live Sessions. The Mercury Award nominated star will perform to an intimate crowd of approx 200 guests at Rampworx, an indoor skate bowl in Liverpool on the 30th May 2013.

 

The past twelve months have been monumental for the London based singer. Her debut album, ‘Is Your Love Big Enough’, was voted i-Tunes album of the year and she was also nominated for BBC Sound of 2012 and the 2012 Mercury Prize.

 

Last month, the Lumia Live Session, saw British electro-pop band Fenech-Soler perform an awesome live set of exclusive material from their second album at Leeds Cage, a mixed martial arts venue that is one of the country’s most prestigious MMA training locations.

The Lumia Live Sessions is a tour that sees Nokia and music pioneers La Blogotheque, a team of bloggers and videographers famous for helping to kick-start the careers of scores of musicians globally, team up to showcase hot new UK music talent at a series of free gigs in unusual settings across the UK.

 

Annie Kearney, Partner Manager Nokia UK said: “We are extremely excited to be announcing Lianne La Havas as the headliner for our third Lumia Live Session, she’s had a fantastic year and is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

 

“I’m particularly excited to bring the Lumia Live Sessions to Liverpool as it is my home town. The Liverpool Music scene had a huge influence in my life. Music in Liverpool is still as exciting as it’s always been, with discovering new talent at its heart and we’re really proud to be hosting the next Lumia Live Session there. We will keep you posted on the support act who will hail from my home town too”

 

The venue, located outside Liverpool City centre is a topflight indoor skatepark and is based in Aintree, Liverpool. Covering over 50,000-square-foot it is widely considered one of the best parks in Europe catering for roller-bladers, skateboarders and BMX.
