Party on the Pitch

Saturday 19 May 2012 saw thousands enjoying Party on the Pitch.

Waltham Forest is part of the Cultural Olympiad and hosted the pop concert to help its residents celebrate the Olympic Year. Being a free concert, it was paid for as part of the Local Authority funding of arts and culture. This was in line with the “Taking Our Place in London” policy which includes financial support “where we enjoy the performances of others through for example attending a concert...”

The show had been promoted as a free concert where residents could meet socially and have fun. The crowds were obviously enjoying the performances and having a good time.

Scouting for Girls

Headline acts were Scouting for Girls, Alexandra Burke, The Saturdays and Cover Drive. A surprise addition to the line-up was Waltham Forest-based Street dance act Unity UK.

 

Alexandra Burke

The Saturdays

Everyone was up dancing to Alexandra Burke’s ‘Bad Boys’ and by the time Scouting for Girls ended the show, nearly everyone was out of the stands and joining those dancing on the pitch. Meeting socially and having fun together generates memorable experiences.
