 26/06/2008 Nokia’s ‘Music Almighty’ returns next month with a range of bands and DJs playing nine dates across the UK. Alas, this year the event will be a completely different ball game; well, not exactly a ball game, more a roller-disco extravaganza!
Celebrating the UK’s love of music, Nokia will be taking their ‘Music Almighty’ roller disco to London, Birmingham and Manchester, enabling 1,000 people to participate in the sport completely FREE of charge.
Like a neon-soaked scene from trippy 80’s film Xanadu, acts including Hot Chip, Zero 7, and the legendary Norman Jay will take centre stage as skaters weave between giant glitter balls, trees, and statues representing pop, rock, hip hop, electronica and classic anthems.
Will Harris, Nokia's Marketing Director commented: "Nokia Skate Almighty is going to be the event of the summer. As fun as ice-skating, but a lot warmer, it will bring people together [and] pay homage to the different types of music that we all love. With some of the best DJs around playing at the events it is going to look and sound absolutely fantastic."
Furthermore, the Nokia ‘Skate Almighty’ rink will be open to children and families during the day; so whether you’re an oatmeal-munching pensioner or a duplo-building kid, you’ll be able to keep fit in the coolest (and hottest) way possible.
The event will kick-off in the Thames-side South Bank area, London, from July 11th to 13th, before taking in Birmingham’s Victoria Square from July 18th to 20th, and Manchester from 25th to 27th.
In other news ‘Nokia: Music to Your Ears’ has signed-up hotly tipped newcomer Vassy; the songstress has recorded the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” and the New Radicals’ “You Get What You Give”.
