The National Lottery’s Big Thank You concerts with The Sun go off with a bang

THE National Lottery’s Big Thank You concerts with The Sun went off with a bang – with two huge nights. Hosted by Virgin FM DJs Ben Jones and Steve Denyer, the gigs last night and on Wednesday were performed for key workers, who were invited for free by the Blue Light charity as a thank you for their work during the pandemic.

At one point Ben shouted to the thousands in the audience: “Have we got any blue lighters in here?”, to which one woman replied at the top of her voice: “Yes!

This is our first night out in two years since Covid.” The rest of the seats were given away to the winners and nominees from The Sun’s Who Cares Wins Awards and National Lottery players, who got their tickets through The Sun.

Indie rockers The Vaccines opened both shows at the Wembley OVO Arena — and the atmosphere was electric. Following on was David Gray, who told the crowd of his joy at performing live for the first time in two years.
