Birmingham hotel to be transformed into live music venue
Ibis Hotels has announced it will transform its Birmingham hotel into an exclusive music venue to launch ibis Lates on Tour, a series of gigs providing a stage to showcase young, up and coming music talent in partnership with the Roundhouse.
Kicking off at ibis Birmingham New Street Station Hotel on May 11, the gig will be headlined by Birmingham duo Ekkah, with support from Roundhouse Resident Artists Malunga, Kenan Kian and DJ Nikita.
All money raised through ticket sales will go directly to ibis’ charity partner, Teenage Cancer Trust.
Karelle Lamouche, SVP of Budget & Economy Brands at AccorHotels UK, says: "ibis Hotels provide everyone with access to great events and experiences across the UK. We are excited to welcome some of the UK’s talented young musicians into the hotel as part of ibis Lates on Tour starting first in Birmingham."
Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager at the Roundhouse, Rider Dyce, says: "We’re proud to be partnered with ibis Hotels and look forward to working with them on this brilliant project.
"The hotel environment provides a unique and exciting platform to showcase the extraordinary talents of our Resident Artists."
Head of Corporate Partnerships at Teenage Cancer Trust, Nicola Bott, says: "We’re so excited to have been chosen as ibis’ charity partner.
"Currently, for every young person with cancer we support there’s another we can’t reach. We want to change this.
"Our amazing partnership with ibis will help raise the money needed for more specialist nurses so we can ensure no young person faces cancer alone. We can’t wait to see ibis Lates raising the roof across the country – what a brilliant way to kick off our partnership.
"A huge thank you to everyone who’s coming along, we hope you have a fantastic night."
Tickets for Ibis Lates on Tour are available for £5 via Skiddle. Further dates and acts will be announced in the coming weeks and months. For more information please visit www.ibis.com.
