Shropshire band The Making gets taste of T-Live stage
Two local bands are to step onto the biggest stage of their careers tomorrow when they support chart-toppers McFly at Telford's first T-Live festival.
The Making and Madison will also be sharing the specially built stage with hit girl band Stooshe and Britain's Got Talent stars Loveable Rogues and Luminites in front of about 3,000 fans in the Telford Town Park arena.
Today, The Making got to step out on to the stage to get a taste of what awaits them tomorrow.
Both bands won their place on the bill at a Band Slam contest in July and have been preparing for the gig since.
A spokesman for The Making said: "The stage is looking great and the lads are excited to do their performance tomorrow. Seeing it today has made it all very real to them and they can't wait to get on stage again and get the crowd rocking."
Telford Ice Rink has also announced a special offer for anyone attending T-Live tomorrow.
And festival-goers who present their T-Live ticket or concert wristband will get half price admission to public skating sessions until September 16, saving up to £4.50.
Councillor Kuldip Sahota, leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, said: "I think it's great that we have been able to make this offer available to T-Live ticket holders.
"The offer will give a significant saving to those who may be regular skaters or equally those who have never skated before."
T-Live tickets are still available in person from the Telford Ice Rink, the box office at Oakengates Theatre @ The Place or by visiting www.theplacetelford.com
They can also be bought on the day, subject to availability, from the box office outside the QEII Arena.
Tickets cost £35 for adults and £30 for 11 to 16 year olds, but holders of registered Telford Loyalty Cards can get tickets for £32 and £28 respectively.
Tickets for five to 10 year olds cost £10 and under fives get in free, but need to be booked.
