In the same week that they announced a host of July dates at their usual home of Boiler Shop, Bongo's Bingo have announced a special that will launch this year's Northern Pride.
In a huge coup for Pride , Bongo's will descend on the Town Moor to launch this year's three day event on Friday, July 19 in the huge Festival Arena.
MC for the evening will be Bongo's Bingo founder Johnny Bongo and get ready to find some 'nu flow' and 'a place where you can boogie' as the star guests with be Big Brovaz and Booty Luv.
Big Brovaz first shot into the UK charts in 2002 with their other hits including Favourite Things and Baby Boy, while two members then went onto form Booty Luv, scoring hits with the likes of Boogie 2Nite, Shine and Some Kinda Rush.
Players will also be able to make the most of the fun fair and a range of food stalls and bars at the Pride event, which this year is taking over both the Town Moor and Exhibition Park.
Ste Dunn, chair of Northern Pride, believes it is the perfect way to launch this year’s festival.
“We’re so excited to be hosting the team at Bongo’s Bingo for the opening night of Pride and performances from Big Brovaz and Booty Luv are sure to make the evening something really special,” said Ste.
“Bongo’s Bingo injects new life into bingo and it’s not difficult to see why it has become so popular with adults of all ages.”
“I can’t think of a better way to launch the festival this year and it’s sure to be a fantastic night to remember.”
Jonny Bongo added "We can't wait to bring the ultimate Bongo's Bingo to this year's Northern Pride.
“We know for a fact that Newcastle is home to one of the wildest crowds in the UK and I can't wait to see them in action.
“We'll be bringing more confetti, more guilty-pleasure tunes and more amazing prizes than Newcastle will know what to do with!"
