Paul Heaton plays First Direct Arena with guest singer Rianne Downey and special guests Lightning Seeds.
Paul Heaton is back at the First Direct Arena on Saturday 31 October, with guest singer Rianne Downey and special guests Lightning Seeds. It's a double-bill that brings together two of the biggest names from Heaton's career on one stage.
Heaton's a British singer-songwriter who's been writing for more than four decades. He was the driving force behind The Housemartins and The Beautiful South before moving into a solo career, and his songs have always had a particular kind of wit, warmth and honest look at everyday life. The setlist is meant to be packed with fan favourites from across those years, so it should pull from a fair few different eras of his work.
Lightning Seeds join him as special guests, and Rianne Downey will be on stage as a guest singer. The night has a standing floor, and if you're bringing anyone under 14, they'll need to be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over; they aren't allowed in the standing area. VIP packages are available if you're after something more than a standard ticket.
