Challenge Cup Final, 2005 - 2010
We have managed the entertainment at rugby league's showpiece event since 2005. That year it was played at the Millennium Stadium before moving to Twickenham in 2006. It was a great thrill to be invited to produce the 2007 final on its return to its traditional home, Wembley, and we have very much enjoyed doing it all again in the Capital in the years since.
Super League Grand Final, Old Trafford, 2006 - 2010
The most important event in the Super League calendar demands an awe-inspiring entertainment programme and Red Sky at Night has delivered this for the past four years. In recent years the 72,000-strong crowd at Old Trafford has witnessed famous names such as Katherine Jenkins, Scouting for Girls and the Wombats together with the best brass bands and pyrotechnics in the business, all helping create a truly electrical atmosphere for those watching within the stadium and tuning in on TV.
Magic Weekend, Millennium & Murrayfield Stadiums, 2007 - 2010
14 teams, 1 stadium, 2 days… The Magic Weekend has to be the most action-packed event in the Rugby League calendar. Red Sky at Night has coordinated this weekend of matches, mascot games and music for the past three years in both Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and more recently in Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. Crowds of around 60,000 fans have each year witnessed thrilling rounds of games played between all the Super League teams, interspersed with Mascot Games hosted by celebrities such as Keith ‘Cheggers’ Chegwin and Radio One's Dominic Byrne.
Tri-Nations, England, 2004 & 2005 & Four Nations 2009
We co-ordinated the Tri-Nations tournaments which featured matches between Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand, at venues including the City of Manchester Stadium, Elland Road, and Wigan's JJB Stadium. In 2009 France were added to the tournament and England played in place of Great Britian. Doncaster and Harlequins' ground The Stoop were new venues and we showcased top new street dance act 'Status' in the pre-match sequences.
