Mela comes to town

Head to Alexandra Park on Sunday and some of the top acts from the Asian and international music scene will be on stage at Oldham’s Mega Mela.

The annual event, which attracted over 20,000 people last year, takes place on Sunday, although the enjoyment begins on Saturday when the fun fair opens.

And on the main stage, internationally famous acts the Hunterz, H.Dhami and Juggy-D will appear.

The organisers, the Mega Mela group, who have run the event successfully since 2006, say no-one needs to miss the vital England-Germany World Cup match on Sunday at 3pm as it will be broadcast on the big screen.

Away from the stage and screen there will be food stalls, dance, community sports a health zone. The mela opens at noon until 8pm.
