Andy Bell, former bassist of city legends Oasis, will spearhead the search for a new star band or musician in the Manchester airport catchment area, who Virgin will fly out to LA to perform at the city’s iconic Roxy music venue.
Entries opened on Tuesday (30 April), with the winner set to jet off in Upper Class to the city of angels on Virgin’s inaugural flight.
Virgin will fly three times weekly from Manchester to LA, starting 26 May.
The airline says the new route links two cities, each with their own rich musical heritage.
