Alexandra Burke and Stooshe to play Future Hits Live in Leeds

Stylus at Leeds University Union will be playing host to 'Future Hits Live' - the third in a series of special music events for pop lovers on Thursday 26 April, 2012.

Behind the event is The Hits Radio, which prides itself on being the authority on the hottest new pop music. One of the UK's biggest commercial digital radio stations, The Hits Radio has over 1 million listeners and 145,000 facebook fans.

Future Hits Live will showcase the station's hottest tips for the future – Stooshe, Alyssa Reid, Mindless Behavior, Lonsdale Boys Club and A*M*E – with core The Hits Radio artist Alexandra Burke headlining on the night.

The Hits Radio presenter James Everton said "Future Hits Live started last summer in Leamington and ended a successful year for The Hits Radio in Edinburgh last year. Now I'm so pleased it's back for 2012 with another brilliant line-up and that, for the first time, we're heading to Yorkshire!

We're all about excellent new pop music on The Hits Radio so I'm delighted to welcome one of the most exciting new girl groups Stooshe, to the bill, as well as brilliant new boybands Mindless Behaviour and Lonsdale Boys Club. And of course, our headliner Alexandra Burke, has been a massive player on the station since her X Factor victory, so I can't wait to see what she has in store for us."

The Leeds event is the third in a number of intimate gigs showcasing new pop acts at different venues across the country. The previous shows have featured acts such as Pixie Lott, Rizzle Kicks, Tinchy Stryder, Wretch 32 and Cover Drive.
