Legends’ 80's line-up announced

Friday 12 February 2016

This year’s ‘Sure Legends in the Park’ will be taking you back to the 80’s.

The Human League who have sold over 20 million records and who’s hits include ‘Fascination’, ‘Don’t you want me’ and ‘Human’ are headlining this summer’s music charity event in Howard Davis Park on Friday 15 July.

They will be joined by 80’s icon Billy Ocean, Marc Almond, Odyssey and One night of Queen with Gary Mullen along with renowned 80’s DJ John McHenry.

Tickets have now gone on sale for the event, now in its seventh year, that helps charities including Help a Jersey Child and Teenage Cancer Trust, Jersey Appeal and attracts music fans from the UK, France and Germany.

Event organiser Caroline Strachan said: “Every year, Sure Legends in the Park aims to bring island fans closer to the icons of their younger years and the outdoor concert experiences they love.

“To see the event come into its seventh year is a fantastic achievement for the team and is great news for the charities involved. It is an honour to receive such great support and high attendance, which makes it possible to run the event again this summer.

“I thoroughly enjoy bringing such phenomenal music legends to Jersey and cannot thank enough, this year’s main sponsors, Sure. I’d also like to thank Coca Cola and Condor Ferries as well as Media partners Channel 103 and TPA for making this all possible.”

Sure's Head of Marketing Louise Burrows said: “Sure sponsors the Big Gig Weekend, which is opened by Sure Legends in the Park, because it brings to Jersey some of the best remembered music Legends who we otherwise wouldn’t get to see.

“Legends in the Park truly is a one of a kind event that is dedicated to raising money for local charities. With such an incredible line-up of music icons from the 80s and fantastic entertainment throughout, we are proud to be a part of one of the biggest Legends productions Jersey will have ever seen.”
