The crowd management and event security contractors Showsec will be working with music promoter Music Plus Sport on five major events this summer featuring such singers as Little Mix, Jess Glynne and Sir Tom Jones.
Leicester-based Showsec point to considerable operational experience of such occasions and are hoping this will be the start of a long-term association.
Simon Battersby, Showsec Director, said: “We are delighted to be given this opportunity to work with Music Plus Sport and venture into this market of race/sports ground-style concerts, one which has enjoyed considerable growth in recent years. We have worked in the past with their Event Director Anthony Norris in a different guise, so we hope this will be the start of a long-term association with the business and contribute to a continuation of their success story in the future.”
Music Plus Sport operate a number of live music brands, including the The Jockey Club live venture, while also promoting concerts at venues such as Donington Park, Alnwick Castle, rugby stadiums and cricket grounds.
Little Mix will be performing at Gloucester Rugby Club (June 24), Harlequins Rugby Club (June 25) and Donington Park (July 1).
The concerts featuring Jess Glynne will run at Wincanton Racecourse (July 1) and Alnwick Castle (August 12), and Sir Tom Jones will take to the stage at Gloucester Rugby Club’s Kingsholm Stadium 24 hours after Little Mix.
