BASINGSTOKE boy band Concept are set to join a host of other entertainment at the Christmas lights switch on in Basingstoke.

The boy band, who made it through to judges’ houses on The X Factor, will entertain crowds in the shopping centre along with Basingstoke Rock Choir and local duo Common Ground on November 21. 

The event starts at 5.30pm, before the lights are switched on at 7pm by television star Keith Chegwin, who is appearing in this year’s The Anvil pantomime Cinderella.

A firework display will follow the lights switch on before Keith and other members of the Cinderella cast will meet fans and sign autographs on the upper level of Festival Place.

Entertainment will continue on-stage until 9.30pm.
