Lily Allen to perform intimate LDN MySpace Secret Show
Lily chooses London Tube Stations as Fancy Dress Theme
LONDON, United Kingdom – 1st May, 2009 — MySpace, the world’s premier social portal, today announced Lily Allen as the next act for its hugely popular MySpace Secret Show series. One of the hottest artists of the moment, Lily will perform the exclusive gig at an undisclosed London venue on Monday 11th May.
The UK show is the third and final leg of Lily’s global MySpace Secret Shows tour and follows events in Tokyo and New York where overwhelming demand saw fans clamouring to make it into the venue.
Lily says: “The fans at the Tokyo and New York MySpace Secret Shows were totally amazing and I expect nothing less from the home crowd. To give it an extra layer of excitement I’m asking fans to dress as London Tube stations – but they won’t know exactly where I’ll be performing until the day.”
The event also celebrates the release of her new single ‘Not Fair’, taken from her platinum selling No 1 album, ‘It’s Not Me It’s You’, which itself premiered exclusively on MySpace earlier this year.
Dom Cook, Head of Entertainment at MySpace UK, says: “Lily epitomises what MySpace is about – she’s cool, she’s sassy and she never forgets her friends. MySpace Secret Shows are all about bringing fans closer to the artists they love and taking the experience they have online, offline. Lily’s very well-loved so we’re expecting this event to be one of the most popular we’ve hosted.”
Lily has long been associated with MySpace, initially using the site to introduce songs for the community to discover. She quickly grew a loyal online fan following, which helped kick-off her career in 2005. Now with more than 400,000 friends on MySpace, she continues to regularly use the site to blog, share photos and videos, and upload music from her albums.
MySpace kicked off its series of Secret Shows in the UK in 2006 with Primal Scream at the 100 Club in London. Globally the Secret Show franchise has included artists such as, Faithless, The Cure, Fall Out Boy, Gnarls Barkley, The Offspring, Pink, Duffy, Franz Ferdinand, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
To find out further details about this exclusive event, MySpace users must add the Secret Show profile and Lily Allen as a friend and keep checking for updates. Once details are revealed, entry to the event is free and works on a first-come-first-served basis.
