Wakefield’s own Skinny Living have been announced as the second headliner for WX Live.
As part of a series of 1000-cap concerts taking place at the brand-new Wakefield Exchange (WX), Skinny Living will be taking to the stage in their hometown no less.
Presented by Wakefield Council, the new programme of live music in the multi-use space aims to bring world-class live music experiences to the city.
It comes after Leeds legend Corinne Bailey Rae was announced as the opening act, so it’s to say we’re off to a very good start for the new venue.
Beloved indie-soul power trio Skinny Living will be playing their biggest hometown show to date on Saturday 13 December.
With an incredible 12-year career encompassing major label support, Skinny Living self-released their long-awaited debut album, ‘Day by Day’, in 2024 to widespread critical acclaim and UK Chart success.
Skinny Living said: “We’re buzzing to announce that our annual Wakefield Christmas show will be held at WX on December 13th. It’s always special coming back to our hometown, and even more exciting to be part of a brand-new venue’s story from the start. We can’t wait to see you all and kick off the Christmas celebrations together.”
Cllr Hannah Appleyard, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Sport, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Skinny Living to WX Live as our second act. As a Wakefield-based band, their inclusion in the programme is a celebration of our city’s incredible homegrown talent.
“WX Live is all about bringing world-class music experiences to Wakefield, and we can’t wait to see both Corrine Bailey Rae and Skinny Living light up the stage at Wakefield Exchange this autumn.”
General on-sale tickets will launch on Friday 16 October and you can get yours here.
