Eurobash 2018

OGAE UK

Our annual fan convention, Eurobash, is back for 2018!
This year’s bash has a new look, a new venue and some changes but fear not, many of the key elements you’ve come to know and love over the years remain in place.
For 2018 we’re returning to the preferred date of the first weekend in October, but we’re in a brand new venue – moving from Manchester across the Pennines to Leeds, and the Hilton Leeds City hotel.
This 4* hotel is an ideal venue for the Bash, being located in the heart of the city, right beside the main train station, and with a self-contained entertainment space for the Bash to be held in.
So what does the weekend involve?
Friday evening, from approx. 7.30pm – for those choosing to arrive on the Friday night, there will be a welcome party at a local bar (location to be confirmed)
Saturday, from noon:

Who are the special guests?
This year we’re announcing the Bash with our three special guests already confirmed. We’re delighted to reveal that we are to be joined by this year’s UK representative SuRie and Bulgarian pop diva Poli Genova. And, as ever, we’re bringing you a “behind-the-scenes” guest as well – this year it’s none other than former Eurovision Executive Supervisor Svante Stockselius. 
So how do I book?
We’ve been listening to your feedback and a major change we’re making this year is that we’re now selling tickets on an event-only basis, giving you flexibility in your accommodation choices. 
Initially the Eurobash will only be available to OGAE members but if spaces remain available these will be opened to non-OGAE members. 150 spaces are available at this stage although a limited number of tickets may become available at a later date. 
This Eventbrite page is for booking your tickets for the event.
