Diana Vickers Wows Crowds at The Fort
On Saturday 1st August, X Factor finalist Diana Vickers wowed crowds at The Fort Shopping Park as she performed live for shoppers.
Hundreds of fans braved the weather and turned out in force to see Diana’s exclusive performance at The Fort, which included some of her favourite tracks from last year’s X Factor final - Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror, Dido’s White Flag and also the quirky singer’s own take on Beyonce’s recent chart smash Halo.
Other acts performing on the day included local singers Rochelle and Tana from Birmingham’s Talent 2009 contest as well as 16 year old singer songwriter James McVey and another X Factor favourite, Liam Payne, also joined the line up.
Diana was thrilled to perform at The Fort: ‘I love Birmingham - the people and the accent - it’s buzzing! I feel really chuffed that I was asked to perform at The Fort Shopping Park in August – it’s great to get back to Birmingham!’
Diana’s performance launched four weeks of Real Fashion at The Fort which continues throughout August with free shopper makeovers at Boots, personal shopper experiences at Debenhams and free goody bags for shoppers. On 22nd August The Fort’s Real Fashion grand finale will see a huge catwalk event hosted by GMTV regular and stylist to the stars Mark Heyes, as he dishes out advice on what’s hot for Autumn/Winter 09 and showcases the best of what’s on offer at The Fort.
Marjan Horne, Centre Manager at The Fort Shopping Park adds: “Diana Vickers gave an amazing performance and it was a real treat having her here at The Fort. It was a great start to our Real Fashion event and Diana showed us how to look fabulous whilst still showing your individuality. I’m looking forward to getting some celebrity style tips when Mark Heyes visits The Fort on 22nd August – whatever the weather it’s going to be an awesome August at The Fort!”
