Get tickets for an exclusive rooftop Kooks gig for 7,500 Virgin Points

If you’re a fan of The Kooks, Virgin Red has an allocation of tickets for an exclusive rooftop gig on Friday 16th May.

It takes place at the News Building at London Bridge, better known as ‘Baby Shard’.

Tickets are 7,500 Virgin Points per person (over 18s only). This is effectively £75 if you value Virgin Points at 1p, but with only 250 guests it will be a unique experience.

(For comparison, Virgin Red also has tickets for their concert at The O2 in October for 50,000 points for two. You’ll be half a mile from the stage there and sharing the night with 20,000 people, not 250.)

To quote:

Formed in Brighton in 2004, The Kooks climbed to success after signing with Virgin Records and releasing their certified five-times platinum debut album Inside In/Inside Out. Their success carried on as they won Best UK & Ireland Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006, followed by a nomination at The Brit Awards. Continuing to produce music that resonates with fans around the world, The Kooks are a must-see this summer!

You’ll get up close and personal as they perform right in front of you from the exclusive 250-person audience. And if you can manage to take your eyes off the superstar (difficult, we know), you’ll have the stunning views of London’s skyline to gawk over too. Not only that, while the sun goes down and the tunes are turned up, you’ll be treated to a drink and some nibbles from your Virgin Red host.

These tickets are exclusively for Virgin Red members – yep, you’ll be a Virgin Red VIP. And because exclusive experiences like this are much better shared (someone needs to take all the snaps, right?), multiple tickets can be bought with your points but each redemption must be made individually. Make sure to get in quick because there’s only a limited number of tickets to get your hands on. ​

What’s included:

• Sunset Session experience – an intimate live gig with a crowd of just 250 people
• VIP access – a dedicated cloakroom, and a front-of-crowd area reserved for Virgin Red members
• Welcome drink & nibbles – 1x welcome drink per guest, plus snacks included. A paid bar will be available for additional drinks (card only)

If you’re interested, you can find out more on the Virgin Red website here or in the app.
