Can you guess what’s special this winter? The world-famous superstar Rihanna will switch on the Christmas lights at a Christmas event! This event will take place in Cherry Park, and she is expected to entertain at least 15,000 fans, Ambassadors of Westfield who are members of its charity partner Save the Children.
This will mark the beginning of the countdown for switching on the Christmas lights at the end of which there will be a presentation of pyrotechnics and lasers.
So don’t you want to know which song the rock star will perform to? It’s a song called Diamonds from her new album “Unapologetic”. This event will mark the launch of this entertaining album in the United Kingdom. This is not its people! If you are lucky enough, you can also expect to get a chance to meet your favourite superstar.
And as per DailyMail – ‘Even though the final contract is still being thrashed out, they’re prepared to pay up to £5 million for her.’
Talking about this exciting event Myf Ryan, General Manager, Marketing UK, said, “Christmas is always such a special time of year for Westfield, and we are so excited that Rihanna has chosen Westfield Stratford City to help celebrate the festivities. Our shoppers love Rihanna, and we are proud to be able to host this unique and exclusive concert for UK fans.”
