Figures from all across the digital world tuned in yesterday evening to hear the winners of this year s Digital City Awards, broadcast live from MediaCityUK.
The event was streamed on the Digital City Network as well as on social media, and featured top-quality pre- and after-parties, both of which were hosted by Dept. The pre-party saw acoustic act The Showhawk Duo perform, while the after-party involved a full set from Graeme Park, DJ and pioneer of the club scene.
The awards ceremony was hosted live from the studio by Gavin Ramjaun, who ran through all the winners of the high-profile awards in what was an unmissable event for attendees of Digital City Festival, which runs until April 23rd on the network.
THE Met will play its part in hosting the UK’s biggest New Year’s Eve event this week. Billed as “a 24-hour spectacular”, The NYE Hacienda House Party will see DJs and live acts perform online from 10am on New Year’s Eve until 10am on New Year’s Day as the legendary Manchester nightclub sees off a miserable year in style. Several of the acts will broadcast live from The Met on the United We Stream website including local legends like Graeme Park, DJ Paulette, Sub Sub, Justin Robertson and a brand new piece from the Hacienda Classical featuring the Manchester Camerata.
