Thursday night culminated the Virgin Radio UK Big Thank You Tour with a star studded gig in Wembley, following events earlier this week in Glasgow and Manchester.

The tour, which offered free tickets to our key worker superstars, has featured some very special guest stars to make great memories for thousands of brave and brilliant coronavirus key workers and their families.

Leading acts performing across the gigs included The Kaiser Chiefs, The Fratellis, The Feeling, David Gray, Ash, Newton Faulkner, The Vaccines, Isaac Stuart, The Wild Things, Tom Grennan and Tom Walker, with Virgin Radio opening up its big contacts book to bring great talent to a sparkling stadium tour that pays thanks to thousands of key workers across the UK.

The Virgin Radio Big Thank You Tour, with St John Ambulance, was a celebration of the UK’s key workers: from the amazing emergency service workers, to the bus drivers and shop workers that kept the country going during the coronavirus pandemic.

A special Sun gig on Wednesday was sponsored by The National Lottery entertaining thousands more key workers at Wembley Arena in London, for The National Lottery and The Sun's Big Thank You Tour.  This special night thanked Sun Savers, Blue Light card holders and National Lottery players, who raised lots of money for good causes.

Virgin Radio UK Content Director, Mike Cass said: “At Virgin Radio UK, we wanted to do what we could to celebrate our key workers and thank them for everything they have done for us all during the pandemic. The Big Thank You Tour was one big rock star thank you, from some of the best names in the business with lots of great music. Thank you to all the artists who have their time and an even bigger thank you to our amazing key worker heroes.” 

Chief Executive of St John Ambulance, Martin Houghton-Brown said: "It's been an incredibly challenging time for the whole nation, but this 'Big Thank You Tour’ has been the perfect opportunity to celebrate and thank all those who have gone above and beyond caring for and keeping the country running – it’s great so many were there enjoying themselves.”
