WELCOME TO MCN LIVE AT BUTLINS, SKEGNESS
This is always a special weekend, but this year it’s extra special with MCN celebrating its 60th anniversary. To mark this momentous occasion we’ve really pulled out all the stops to make this year’s event truly memorable. Well, we hope that you do remember some of the weekend come Sunday night/Monday morning! So let’s get this party started with a stack of brilliant bands to get things rocking. There’s one hell of a line-up on all three nights of MCN Live this year with Slade headlining on Friday night. So Cum Feel the Noize and get involved with the Fancy Dress fun and games. And don’t miss the chance to get up and close and personal with four-times World Superbike champion and King of the Jungle Carl Fogarty. The superstar racer and now fully-fledged A-list celeb will be hosting a chat show on Saturday afternoon and will be leading the rideout from the Butlin’s site to Cadwell Park on Saturday morning. Don’t miss it, I know I won’t. And for those that fancy it, there’s a chance to do a couple of FREE laps of Cadwell Park – just make sure you wear suitable riding kit along. Be sure to join in with our 60th birthday celebrations and be in with a chance to win our huge giveaway of an Austrian tour, Devitt insurance and more! There’s also an action-packed beach race planned for Saturday and Sunday as part of this year’s 60th party extravaganza so make sure you catch the action as some of the UK’s masters of the art give it their all. There will also be some smoke and stunts from Terry Grant over the weekend as he wows the crowd with his madcap shenanigans. This really is going to be a fun-filled, action-packed weekend and I hope you all have a great start to the biking season!
