Star Events will provide a VerTech stage and support infrastructure for SJM’s Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott’s turn at the KCOM Craven Park stadium on 3 June.
Star Events’ 20m VerTech stage goes to Hull, along with a venue specific loading dock, a low level VT FOH structure and two 11.5m V-tower delays.
Pete Holdich, Head of Structures at Star Events, commented: “It’s many years since we worked at Craven Park. The stadium has got good access, a helpful house team and plenty of storage space, which takes us straight out onto the pitch. The Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott show is a big coup for Hull and we’re really looking forward to it.”
Martin Green, Director of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, said: “We have a superb line-up of musical events taking place next year, but Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott’s return to Hull will inevitably be one of the highlights of the summer.”
Green then commented: “Paul always receives a great reception when he comes home and, in a year that is about celebrating culture in the city, it is wonderful that he will be performing Housemartins’ songs, which are so strongly associated with Hull.”
