Bongo’s Bingo debuts in Blackpool 12 July 2017 by Visit Blackpool Bongo’s Bingo – the original bingo-rave phenomenon sweeping across the UK - are very proud to announce they are making their debut at the iconic Blackpool Tower on Friday 4th August, bringing their unique magic and mayhem to one of the major tourist attractions in Britain. The Blackpool Tower officially opened to the public on 14th May 1894 and more than five million bricks, 2,493 tonnes of steel and 93 tonnes of cast iron were used to create the iconic Grade One listed building, in a perfect union for Bongo’s Bingo on the dazzling coastline. The guys have just returned from a sold-out tour across Australia (the Sydney shows sold out in less than 5 mins) and are already plotting their return to the continent, as well as their summer programming continuing across the UK. In Ibiza, their weekly residency continues, as does their series of sold-out shows in Dubai too. In just over two raucous years Bongo’s Bingo has become a pivotal part of the country’s cultural landscape, with wild scenes taking place each night across the UK as the team move from city to city. From starting in Liverpool originally, it is fast becoming a true phenomenon, one which has already re-shaped how people enjoy themselves and perhaps most importantly it brings a sense of unadulterated fun and escapism to going out. The shows continue to sell out in advance, with a vibrant mix of players flocking in from far wide for the riotous reinvention of a particularly unique and fond British pastime. Bongo’s Bingo features rave anthems, dance-offs, plenty of audience participation and lots of dancing on tables, but it also challenges the more traditional concepts of going out. Is it a show? Is it a rave? Is it a club? It is actually bingo? It’s a bit of them all and much more, with a very distinct identity all of its own. Kenny Mew, General Manager of The Blackpool Tower, said: “The Blackpool Tower, and the Ballroom in particular, is a perfect place for Bongo’s Bingo. The Ballroom is a truly iconic destination in resort and we can’t wait to welcome Bongo’s Bingo fans to experience it this summer. It will be a great night and we can’t wait to play."
