Quote Wigan Warriors can today unveil that Stans Magic Foot and Boomin will be performing live at the Warriors Fan Day on Saturday.
Both bands have graduated from the Warriors Showcase Stage, having wowed the crowds at the DW Stadium before the Wakefield and Warrington games respectively.
Stan's Magic Foot. are a highly regarded magical fusion of traditional and contemporary, Folk music and Spanish riffs, Jewish wedding melodies and Rage Against the Machine!
Comprising of Stan Tango (Violin and vocals), Kesh the Spanish Ninja (Double bass and vocals), Vrreghregh (Guitar and vocals) and Frodo Thrustbang (Percussion and vocals) they are Champions of hat-wearing and the joy of singing with their energetic shows guarantee to entertain.
From poigniant renditions of the likes of Speak Softly My Love, to funked up rippers such as Killing In The Name, everyone who sees this band are guaranteed to feel better and some will go away with a hat!
The band was initially the brain child of Stan Tango; formed for a one off festival 2 years ago. Their first gig was literally in front of two humans and a dog, "Although we did go down very well and the dog sang along to every tune" said Stan.
"Fortunately the next gig was to a crammed pub and we went down so well they got promoted to the mainstage the year later to support radio 2 DJ Mark Radcliffe and his band".
Since then they have played all over the country including a performance at the PFA awards at the Grovsner House Hotel on Park Lane in front of Fabio Capello/Alex Ferguson/Ryan Giggs and just about anyone who's anyone in the football world, a performance that went down so well they got booked for this year straight after the gig.

Boomin have been touring the town's pubs and clubs for the last three years wowing audiences with cover versions of pop and rock classics, past and present. As the band's devoted fan base grows with every performance lead singer and guitarist Adam Langmead, bass player Rory O' Grady and drummer Ed Langmead are setting their sights on hitting the big time by securing a record deal.
Recently they played a rapturous set to thousands of fans and received much acclaim at this years Haigh Hall Festival, which in itself was a warm up for their ROCK FM LIVE Festival appearance at the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool where they will be appearing on the bill with the likes of The Script, Scouting For Girls and The Saturdays.
