St.Helens Council has announced a change to the line-up for Saturdays (August 8th) St.Helens Live Music Festival. Mutya Buena has had to cancel due to filming commitments for her forthcoming new single. However, this does give local artists an increased opportunity to showcase their talent.

One of the country's hottest r&b and hip-hop acts, N-DUBZ, will headline the Festival in Victoria Square, St.Helens.

NDubz will be supported by Chipmunk – the MOBO & UMA Best UK Newcomer award- winning 18 year-old rising star of hip hop and KOF - Liverpool's very own hip hop star. The event will also showcase a selection of local talent from across the North West including Adam Eburne, Lanca, MC Rasp, Anamal and Double Dutch.

The event is organised by St.Helens Council with event partners Love Music Hate Racism, CALM, JUICE FM and Chicago Rock Café. The event is financially supported by St.Helens Council and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Tickets for the event cost £5.00 each (plus booking fee).
