Union J to play one-off date in Oldham

Date published: 24 August 2015


One of the UK’s biggest boybands are set to take the stage in Oldham.

Union J are to headline a special one-off feelgood show at the Queen Elizabeth Hall 25 October.

Joining former X Factor contestants Josh, JJ, Jaymi and George on the bill with special guest performances, are four of the UK and US’s top and upcoming talent Only The Young, Talia Storm, Jagmac, and Henry Gallagher.

Union J were formed after auditioning for The X Factor in 2012, and have since gone on to score four Top Ten singles and two huge-selling albums. In December, the band achieved their biggest single hit to date with ‘You Got It All’ peaking at No2. The boys supported The Vamps on their Arena Tour earlier this year, playing dates across the UK.

Supporting Union J on the one-night-only show are hugely talented X-Factor favourites Only The Young, whose latest catchy single ‘I do’ was finally released after stocks of their CDs were delayed in the Calais migrant crisis. Also sharing the bill are Britain’s Got Talent’s Henry Gallagher, who captured the hearts and the votes of the British public on the show last year by singing his self-penned love song about his mystery crush.

Scottish singer Talia Storm has been tipped by The Sun as one of their ‘10 Acts To Watch In 2015’. Her infectious R’n’B debut single ‘Social Security’ was released in 2015.

The final act supporting Union J are Jagmac – four brothers and two sisters from Baltimore, US. Comparisons have been made to artists as diverse as Black Eyed Peas and The Jackson 5. The current single ‘Get Your Groove Back’ is a retro infused funk track, with a cool video to match.

Union J Live is supported by Revolution 96.2, the commercial station covering Oldham Rochdale and Tameside.
