For the launch of MyMcDonald’s Rewards, the brand’s first ever rewards scheme, superstar grime artist Aitch sizzled on stage during a secret gig for McDonald’s fans in his hometown of Manchester yesterday evening.
Whilst temperatures soared outside, Aitch kept it cool as he delivered an electrifying performance inside a fully air-conditioned venue, rewarding McDonald’s customers with an energetic set of some of his most loved tracks.
The grime superstar’s exclusive set list featured some of his biggest hits including 1989, In Disguise, Rain and Baby.
And he wasn’t done there – to give fans another surprise, Aitch jumped in the McFlurry van to dish out frozen treats to keep people cool, as well as hand out limited-edition McDonald’s merch including bucket hats, and take selfies with the fans who came to see him perform at the event. Follow this link for a look at the exclusive event that saw fans flock from all around the UK.
Aitch said of the experience: “I had an unreal time helping launch MyMcDonalds Rewards in my hometown. I was gassed to perform for some of my biggest fans and loved jumping in the McFlurry van to help cool fans down in this mad weather. I can always rely on my city to bring it, and Manchester absolutely did.”
To celebrate the launch of MyMcDonald’s Rewards, available exclusively on the McDonald’s App from 20th July, McDonald’s is celebrating by teaming up with TV presenter Rylan to lead the ultimate ‘Rewards Squad’ featuring a star-studded cast of celebrities to embark on a tour of the UK, bringing a series of surprising moments to customers across the nation.
