Rosie Morgan, events fundraising manager at Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, said:

“We’re thrilled to be bringing The Groove to Widnes this summer, we’ve got an incredible line-up of tribute acts that are sure to get the crowd rocking, and we can’t wait to see everyone come together for an unforgettable day of music and fun.”

“We’re all really excited. Times have been tough for many of us, so it’s great to have something to look forward to. Where else could you see and hear all the greatest hits of legendary artists such as ABBA, Sir Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Queen and The Beatles – all on the same day?

“It’s going to be something really special, and – even better – it’s all for a really special cause too. 

“We’re proud of the work we do, but it’s all down to the amazing support we get from people who take part in our fundraising activities and events.

“That’s why we’re so pleased to be launching The Groove; a great fun day out that will help us help everyone affected by lung cancer. So, if The Groove proves a massive success, it will really help us save lives. What could be better than that?”
