Billboard UK hosted an exclusive live event with Grammy Award–winning artist Corinne Bailey Rae, last week at Aviva Studios in Manchester, home of Factory International. The event marked the next chapter of Billboard Live UK, a new live music series spotlighting artists who shape culture and define sound.
The partnership bought together Billboard UK and Aviva Studios, who joined as Presenting Partner, in a shared mission to champion live music and create opportunities for artists across the UK.
Known for her timeless voice and emotionally-charged artistry, Corinne Bailey Rae performed an intimate set inside the landmark Aviva Studios, home to the next generation of culture in Manchester. The event brought together fans, industry, and culture leaders for a one-night-only experience that blended performance, storytelling, and connection.
Billboard Live UK builds on Billboard’s global legacy of celebrating music and elevating artist stories through live experiences. Following the inaugural event at The Great Escape festival in Brighton this past May, the event series will continue in 2025 with additional stops and talent announcements across the UK.
