Teesside's Make a Scene Events Presents: Road to Riverside with James Arthur
We are thrilled to announce the launch of "Road to Riverside" - a one-night-only event in search of the hottest acts from the North-East. The winning band will secure the coveted opening support slot at James Arthur's homecoming gig at the Riverside Stadium on June 8th as part of his Bittersweet Love tour. The act will be chosen by James, in person on the night of the show. In the running to win are Finn Forster, Lizzie Esau, Gold Bloom and Noyou.
In association with BBC Radio Tees and presented by Shakk from BBC Introducing North East, this event will take place at Teesside University Students' Union, providing a platform for local talent to be showcased on a monumental scale. James Arthur, global artist and Redcar native, is deeply rooted in the local music scene, honing his craft performing with his formative bands Traceless, Moonlight Drive, and Save Arcade in venues across the North-East. Now, he aims to give back to his community by championing up-and-coming artists from the area.
"I'm coming back to Teesside and performing at the Riverside Stadium, which is a full circle moment for me. I wanted to share this moment and give something back to where I came from; giving another act from the North-East the chance to support me at the Boro!" said James.
