Alfie Boe to switch on Blackpool Illuminations
Alfie Boe will return to his native Lancashire to switch on the Blackpool Illuminations.
The singer, who is from Fleetwood, will appear at the official switch-on concert on the Tower Festival Headland on August 31.
Also performing at the show will be Ella Eyre, Jonas Blue, Diversity, DVJ and Club MTV DJs R3wire and Varski.
The celebrations will start with a Blackpool Introduces showcase featuring local talent.
Boe, who has had two number one albums as part of his collaboration with friend Michael Ball, will follow in the footsteps of a long list of stars to do the honours at the ceremony, including Robbie Williams, Peter Kay, Tim Burton and Dame Barbara Windsor.
The illuminations will be lit up until November 4.
