VENUE CHANGE DUE TO PHENOMENAL DEMAND
Due to an incredible demand in sales for McVention 2018, event organisers Jay Fitzpatrick & Aidan Johnson have decided to change venue from Ivory Blacks to the larger Classic Grand in Glasgow!

Jay said: “When I set about organising McVention 2018 with Aidan, I had no idea how big the demand for tickets would be, so it is an absolute thrill that we’ve managed to already sell over 250 tickets, and guarantee a minimum of £1,000 to the Shona Smile Foundation.”

Aidan said: “We felt that it would be unfair for fans to miss out on this year’s event, especially with it being a special celebration on what would have been Rick Parfitt’s 70th birthday. We have an awesome line-up for the weekend, and I would not want anyone to miss out on what will be without a doubt a very memorable event, which will celebrate the music of the mighty Quo!”

The new venue is just a 3 minute walk from Ivory Blacks, so this venue change should not effect anyone’s transport or accommodation arrangements for the event.

All original tickets are still valid for the new venue. For all queries regarding tickets, please email aidan@aidanjohnson.co.uk.
