comparethemarket.com meerkat mogul, Aleksandr, takes centre stage as presenter of the new entertainment series. The debut Meerkat Music virtual show will be broadcast to the nation on Friday 29 May 2020 at 20.00 on the CompareTheMeerkat YouTube channel and Facebook Live.
Hot off the back of Gary Barlow’s charming ‘Crooner Sessions’ in lockdown; the Meerkat Music launch will see the ‘Greatest Day’ stars perform with Robbie Williams for the first time since December 2018. Performing a series of their most celebrated hits, Take That and Robbie Williams will hit the digital stage to entertain fans throughout the nation.
Julie Daniels, Head of Rewards at comparethemarket.com said: “We’ve been rewarding our customers with entertainment through Meerkat Meals and Meerkat Movies for a number of years – and music has been on our radar for a while. Kicking off with Take That, the line-up of headline artists who will perform on the Meerkat
Music platform this summer will help lift the nation’s spirits at an incredibly challenging time.
Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams have chosen to support Nordoff Robbins (with whom the band have a long-standing relationship), as well as the charity Crew Nation, a global relief fund for live music crews, alongside this one-off streamed reunion performance.
Take That commented on the digital show: “This is a world first for us! Reuniting with our old friend online for a one-off performance! It’s always great getting back together with Robbie and we are really excited to be part of this unique show that everyone can enjoy from home. We are also delighted to be supporting Nordoff Robbins and Crew Nation around this show, two charities very close to our hearts.”
Robbie Williams also commented: “I am really looking forward to performing with the boys again – it’s always a pleasure. Nordoff Robbins and Crew Nation are both such brilliant charities and I’m thrilled to be supporting them around this show. If we can’t go to the stadium…we’ll bring the stadium to us.”
Meerkat Music is the latest from the comparethemarket.com rewards programme – joining Meerkat Movies and Meerkat Meals.
Access to the Take That gig will be available to everyone, with exclusive content and subsequent Meerkat Music headline acts available exclusively for comparethemarket.com customers. Further details on these show dates and industry support will be announced over the coming weeks.
