Last weekend saw the UK’s largest free tribute festival make it’s way back to St. Mary’s Park in Prestwich, Manchester and we sponsored the whole event! There were some huge names in attendance including Enraged, Higher On Maiden, Mentallica and the Reet Hot Chili Peppers; all of which rocked the Shade Station Main Stage over the course of the weekend. Thousands of rock and roll pilgrims made their way from across the country to see the spectacle that was Festwich 2013 and let me tell you, they were not disappointed! Wall to wall rock music was juxtaposed by an awesome fun fair, hardcore bungee rides and even ‘zorbing’ for the kid in all of us.
The usually quiet St. Mary’s Park lit up from 10am on Saturday morning and didn’t stop rocking until Sunday evening, much to the pleasure of every music fan in a 10 mile radius! Saturday’s weather was beautiful and we managed to catch a glimpse of some brilliant sunglasses too – previous Shade Station customers I presume. Oakley Sunglasses, Ray-Ban Sunglasses, Chanel Sunglasses and even a set of Tom Ford Sunglasses protected the eyes of the hard rock faithful over the weekend and allowed them to get an even better view of the Shade Station Main Stage.
