X-Factor star Danny Dearden to perform at the Rochdale Town Centre Christmas Lights Switch-On

Date published: 07 October 2014


Littleborough singer and X-Factor star, Danny Dearden will be performing live at the Rochdale Town Centre Christmas Lights Switch On event taking place on The Butts on Saturday 22 November.

Danny who made it through to the final six in the Boy’s category and reached the Judges Houses stages of the competition in Mexico said his X-factor journey was an experience of a lifetime where he got to swim with dolphins, drive speedboats and perform live in front of Mel B and guest judge Emma Bunton.

Danny didn’t make it through to the live shows but he has done Rochdale proud and is looking forward to his home coming performance.

Danny said: “I’m really excited to be taking part in the Rochdale Town Centre Christmas Lights Switch on event and performing in my home town.

“I attended the Switch On event last year and the crowd was fantastic.

“My friends and family will be coming to watch and it will be an honour to perform on stage in Rochdale.”

The Switch On will commence at 3.30pm with a parade along Yorkshire Street involving local school children, reaching The Butts at 4pm, with performances on the main stage from 4pm – 5pm.

The switch-on will then be held with other soon to be revealed star guest appearances, followed by a spectacular firework display.

There will also be children’s rides and various stalls at this annual town centre favourite event.
