The Headliner

With support from Red Bull, Headliner is an extra special match day experience for players and spectators with a live DJ and half-time entertainment.

This has become a flagship event in the student setting, with Headliner being known to bring in large crowds of over 600 supporters, as well providing an exciting digital spectator experience through a livestream, for those unable to attend in-person.

Previous Headliners include Volleyball, Football, Water Polo, Lacrosse, Squash, Hockey, Netball and the National Badminton League.

Event coverage and building spectator excitement

There is extensive build up and event day coverage of the event, across all of our UoN Sport social media channels and significant engagement from the central University team to promote the event and the event has even been highlighted across the sport governing bodies channels.

The physical and digital reach of the event series has also been used to promote and support our student mental health initiatives, including fundraising for Movember. Live stream interviews with our Men’s Health and Welfare Sport Ambassadors increased visitors to the programme web pages by 200 to 300%.
