First direct showcased performances from up-and-coming rock, punk and indie bands, The Royston Club, Dead Pony and L’objectif in the city that brought us Oasis, Manchester, for music lovers to enjoy.
As long-standing partners of the first direct Arena in Leeds, the digital bank is committed to levelling the playing field within the music industry. The bands were invited to the venue in August, where each performed three of their most recent songs with full production on the stage which has seen the likes of Stormzy and Dua Lipa play to thousands of fans.
Footage from the show was shared with fans and onlookers who could relax and enjoy all the tracks at the experience in the centre of Manchester.
As well as enjoying the music, visitors had the opportunity to win a variety of prizes including VIP tickets to the first direct Arena and band merchandise.
