X Factor star, Amelia Lily will take to the stage in Portadown next Friday, 18th
mark the closing event of the town’s Portadown 400 celebrations in a live music spectacular
which will include a line-up of local talent.
The free outdoor music concert will see local bands, Microlip and The Mark Ferguson Band,
support well-known X Factor and top ten singer, Amelia Lily as she helps celebrate the
town’s 400 year heritage. Swing sensation, James Huish will also join the line-up which is
expected to attract large numbers to the town’s plaza.
Mayor of Craigavon, Mark Baxter, said:
“Portadown 400 has been a non-stop celebration with free events throughout the year
for young and old. The town has enjoyed choral events, art exhibitions, dance shows,
railway trips, storytelling, Viking boat races, a teddy bears picnic, tea dances and
much, much more. I’ve no doubt this Grand Finale event will be an amazing end to a
fantastic year of festivities and I look forward to seeing so many people out enjoying
the entertainment and joining the celebrations.”
The concert will run from 7-10pm on Friday 18th and will allow everyone to enjoy the sights and sounds of the star-studded event.
Music fans of all genres can enjoy the event with a wide range of tastes catered for.
Compered by much-loved TV and radio presenter, Pamela Ballantine, the concert will be
opened by local Christian group, the mark Ferguson Band. Swing King James Huish –

previously supported JLS, will also take to the stage.
