The Cheeky Girls are set to perform in Manchester this weekend, taking over Bingo Balls in the Printworks.
The nostalgic, adults-only 90s-inspired bar features a huge ball pit and is famed for its fun events, from bingo to drag brunches.
And this weekend it will provide the perfect setting for the return of the iconic noughties cheesy pop duo, twin sisters Gabriela and Monica Irimia, aka The Cheeky Girls.
The ‘Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)’ singers are on the Bingo Balls line-up for this weekend, as it gears up for a busy Easter bank holiday weekend of events.
There’ll be everything from bottomless brunch to cocktail masterclasses to live entertainment.

The Printworks bar will kick things off with Sandi Ego’s House Party on Thursday, encouraging people to let out their inner child at the start of the four-day weekend.
Then on Friday, it’s Music Bingo with Chris Dresden, with a playlist of ‘strictly party bangers’ ranging from HipHop to R&B to chart-toppers.

On Saturday, DJ Danny Sense will be on the decks all night for Bingo Balls’s Starstruck Saturdays event.
And finally, Sunday night will see the arrival of the Cheeky Girls, with a Cheeky Easter Bingo and a live performance.
Bingo Balls opened inside the Printworks last summer, showing off a cocktail bar interior filled with a selfie station, a Mean Girls-inspired ‘Burn Book’, and, of course, a gigantic adults-only ball pit.

Entry for their Easter weekend parties starts from £5, with tickets on sale now through Fatsoma.
VIP table packages are also available, perfect for birthdays, hen and stag parties, and other special occasions.
