UK fans are fantastic and this year we wanted to create something new, refreshing and that we’d never done before – anywhere in the world! July 6th is going to be extra special, as unlike in a stadium, we will be right up to the crowds, partying with them with my full live band, very close up and having fun. It will be a concert and party all in one.”

Zaf Mughal, of Autograph Entertainment and the man behind the intimate event, said: “Having worked with SEL for some years now, without sounding bias, they have to be one of the most professional and easy going outfits I know. 100% in every concert, they get the crowd involved and never fail to deliver. This is a Wembley size concert close up”.

Rishi Lakhani of the Millennium Group said: “When the opportunity came up to have SEL at our venue we couldn’t wait to sign on the dotted line. They are one of the biggest names in the industry today, this is a Wembley or O2 level concert and to host it at The City Pavilion is truly amazing and ground-breaking.”
