A huge family singalong show is coming to Manchester this May – featuring smash-hit songs from some of the most beloved kids’ movies of all time.
‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’features a live cast of sublime singers and live band performing incredible renditions of classic anthems from Frozen (Let It Go, Love is an Open Door); Sing (I’m Still Standing, Don’t You Worry Bout A Thing); Descendants (Queen of Mean, If Only); The Greatest Showman (This Is Me, From Now On); and Trolls (Can’t Stop the Feeling).
The show is set to take place in safe, socially-distanced surroundings at the Trafford Centre – with every family enjoying their own private dance space.
There will be two gigs in total – held over separate weekends on 23 and 29 May.
Producers have also promised that a donation will be made to NHS Heroes from every ticket sold.

Both gigs will be hosted at DriveINSIDE – which is being billed as the ‘world’s first drive-in theatre’.
Covered by Europe’s largest mega tent, the venue provides an immersive experience for 800 people and seating for every audience member.

Ticket-holders can drive into the arena and take a seat alongside their vehicle.
Unlike other drive-in venues, DriveINSIDE is crucially undercover – meaning you won’t have to worry about getting wet when the Manchester rain inevitably comes tumbling down.
‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ is being hosted by Tightrope Productions – a Manchester-based company specialising in innovative, large-scale entertainment.

Producer Daniel Wood said: “It is so important when we finally get back to some kind of normality to continue to support the incredible staff within the NHS.
“This is our opportunity to thank them all for their incredible work which has finally allowed live theatre to return!”
‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ will take place on Sunday 23 May and Saturday 29 May.
Shows start from 1.30pm.
Both events will take place at DriveINSIDE in The Trafford Centre.

Tickets officially go on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester

Tickets have now officially gone on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester.
Arriving on screens from 18 December and gearing up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, Dune: Part Three – which is the third and final instalment in director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune franchise – will be screening in IMAX 70mm at Vue Manchester Printworks, one of only three venues to show it in this format nationwide.
There are only 40 other venues across the globe showing the film in IMAX 70mm, and Manchester is the only city outside of London to screen the blockbuster this way too.
Based on the novels of Frank Herbert and set nearly two decades after the previous film, Dune: Part Three features an ensemble cast of all-star names led by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
Alongside them will be Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rebecca Ferguson, Robert Pattinson, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin.
After seats for a special early screening of the film in IMAX sold out in less than 30 minutes last month, the IMAX 70mm showings – which officially went live today (20 October) – are expected to be snapped up fast by film fans in Manchester.
“A decade in the making, Denis Villeneuve’s epic Dune trilogy is reaching its dramatic conclusion this December,” explained Dean Cross, who is the Senior Screen Content Manager at Vue.
“As the only venue outside of London to be screening Dune: Part Three in IMAX 70mm, it’s a privilege for us to offer this unique way to experience the film.”
Dune: Part Three is coming to Vue Manchester Printworks on 18 December, and you can book your tickets here.

Clubland is heading to Manchester for a special arena-sized anniversary celebration next year.
The Clubland Arena Tour promises a night of the biggest artists and biggest anthems, giving fans the chance to come together for a celebration of the dance music brand.
Celebrating 25 years of Clubland, the tour will stop off at arenas in Leeds, Glasgow, Newcastle, Aberdeen, and of course Manchester.
With the event set to take over one of Manchester’s biggest live entertainment venues, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a nostalgic night of club classics and dancefloor favourites – even before the lineup is announced.
The full line-up is expected to be announced very soon, with fans encouraged to keep an eye out for further details.
Previous headliners at Clubland Live have included Cascada, Basshunter, Scooter, Ultrabeat, and Vengaboys, always guaranteeing a night of non-stop anthems.
For many dance music fans, Clubland has become synonymous with the sounds that dominated clubs, radio playlists and party nights throughout the 2000s.

Over the years, Clubland has continued to celebrate the artists and songs that helped define an era of dance music, giving fans the chance to experience their favourite tracks live alongside thousands of like-minded clubbers.
From infectious pop-dance hits to harder-hitting electronic anthems, its events tap into a sense of nostalgia while keeping the energy of a night out firmly at the centre of the experience.
The 25th anniversary tour looks set to build on that legacy, bringing a quarter-century of club classics to arenas across the UK.
The Clubland Arena Tour will be at the AO Arena in Manchester on Friday 30 April 2027.
Tickets will go on sale on 30 October from 9.30am, but you can also register for the AO Arena presale to get early access to tickets on 29 October from 9.30am.
