Royal Albert Hall

Sent to Members via email on 15.01.2025

Further to our email yesterday, Royal Albert Hall have been in contact this morning regarding a cancellation. UMSA were currently on the reserves list for Sunday 21st December. We have therefore rescheduled to this date with it being a late return.

This will hopefully be better as The University will have closed for Christmas and it will also be the school holidays, if families want to attend.

Due to there being very limited tickets, they have requested that UMSA pay by Wednesday 7th May.

Autumn Lights is back on tour in 2025. Following an incredible 2024 with not one but two breath-taking fireworks displays choreographed to music from around the globe, plus a buzzing stage hosted by DJ Ryan Swain, the electrifying SPARK! drummers, walkabout entertainers, family funfair, street food, and bars – we’re turning it up even louder this year.

 New for 2025:

Headliners Dick & Dom are joining the party, spinning feel-good anthems and party classics to get the whole family dancing.

Young Elton makes his Autumn Lights debut, belting out all the timeless hits with a tribute that’ll have you singing your heart out.

Thanks to our brand-new giant screens and crowd cams, we’ll see you dancing, laughing, and making memories all night long.

 It’s the UK’s most spectacular touring firework fiesta, celebrating its fifth explosive year – and we want you there with us. Expect laughs, beats, and a firework finale that’ll light up the sky this Autumn.
