The evening is heralded as the biggest night of the year in Blackpool – yes everyone, it’s almost time for the Blackpool illuminations switch on! SCREAM.
As a bit of background, the special lights were founded in 1879 and run for whole days 66 days! Yes, 66. That’s a lot of electricity.
Anywho – before we all get too excited about the lights themselves – to make it even more thrilling, this year, they’ve made the switch-on run from just one day to a whole weekend!
It’s like a Blackpool festival…and the Script are headlining – could it get any better?
Speaking about the event earlier, Danny O’Donoghue got particularly excited, screaming:
“Mammy we’re turning on the lights in Blackpool.” Unfortunately, he wasn’t actually ringing his mum – but was telling MTV’s Laura Whitmore just how happy he was about the whole situation.
“It really is exciting – definitely something different for us,” he quipped, with fellow band member, Glen, adding:
“It’s an outdoor one and we’re going to be literally facing thousands of people, so I think it’s gonna be awesome.”
We better go and get our train tickets now. We’ll have a ride on the big dipper while were there.
