Virgin Mobile invite you to come out of the closet and into the bushes at the Big Gay Out
02/07/2004
London’s most colourful and diverse event is back as the Big Gay Out returns to London’s Finsbury Park tomorrow, Saturday July 3rd. The Big Gay Out, in association with Virgin Mobile, is THE event to be seen at this Summer as fifty thousand revellers of all persuasions party the day and night away to acts including Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Sugababes and Jamelia.
Virgin Mobile is proud to be sponsoring the Big Gay Out for the third year running and will once again be bringing the much-loved Virgin Mobile Red Light Cabaret Club to the event. As in previous years the Cabaret Club will host the UK’s most talented drag acts, comics and singers including The Boy George Experience, and ‘Stars in their Eyes’ winner Jacqui Cann. People looking for a more intimate experience can take a trip to the ever popular Virgin Mobile Bushes and take a walk on the wild side.
‘Text the Party’ means that everyone will be able to text the screens around the event and share gossip, rate the bands, and each other. When the dancing and outfit assassination gets too exhausting, the spangly new Virgin Mobile Kebab Van will be on hand, giving out free kebabs to all Virgin Mobile customers who flash their phone.
Virgin Mobile is also using the latest technology to make sure that their customers do not go thirsty during the festivities. Customers will be invited to text ‘BEER’ to a number and will receive a unique code in return. These codes can then be redeemed at special pods in the Virgin Mobile Red Light Cabaret Club to get vouchers for free beer! The lovely Virgin Mobile Angels will be on hand all day to help customers claim their free food and drink.
The full line-up, site map and event information is available from www.biggayout.com. Tickets for Big Gay Out are on sale now priced £25, (concessions £15) subject to booking fee and can be purchased from www.biggayout.com, Ticketmaster and most gay clubs and bars.
