Professor Green to play secret gig

On Saturday 23rd March, London-born rapper Professor Green will take to the stage to perform an exclusive live gig for Barclaycard in a secret London venue to celebrate London life being made easier now contactless payment technology is available on Transport for London (TFL) buses across the Capital.

Since his last album 'At Your Inconvenience', Professor Green has gone on to secure a number one with Emeli Sande for the hit single 'Read All About It'. Back this year stronger than ever, Professor Green will appear at the Barclaycard Contactless Gig for an exclusive set.

He will be supported by special guest act - Ady Suleiman, a singer-songwriter from Nottingham, who will perform a raw and untamed live set with his band.

People can apply to win a pair of just 280 free tickets available for the gig by registering at www.Facebook.com/Barclaycard between Monday 11th March and Friday 15th March.

Winners will then be given a meeting point in either North, East, South or West from where they will be whisked away by special Contactless buses to the secret location.

Professor Green said: "Being a London lad born and bred, I have been using public transport all my life so I am really looking forward to performing at the Barclaycard Contactless Gig and to help celebrate this new form of payment on London buses."

Contactless payments make it easier and more convenient for customers to pay for their travel on London's transport network.

Retailers all over the UK are turning to contactless; these include Waitrose, M&S, McDonalds and Tesco. You can use your contactless card to pay for purchases under £20.
