Eurovision star Sam Ryder will be live in Milton Keynes next week - topping the bill at a free event marking Milton Keynes achieving city status.
The event on Saturday, October 8 will be the grand finale to this year’s City of Codes & Light Festival organised by Milton Keynes Islamic Arts and Culture.
Sam Ryder, who boasts more than 13 million Tik Tok followers, stunned global audiences in May with his anthem Space Man, which saw the UK achieve our best Eurovision result for 20 years.
Sam will be live at 10pm on the Station Square music stage, showcasing music from his new album There’s Nothing But Space, Man. A laser show will follow Sam's appearance before the event ends at 11pm.
