McFly to play Haigh Hall
Chart-toppers McFly and glamorous girl band the Saturdays have been signed to play Haigh Hall this summer.
The groups will perform in the country house grounds as part of one of the biggest series of gigs ever to take place in the borough.
The Wigan Life Tuned-In Concerts run for five days from Monday July 5 to Friday July 9 and more big names could be unveiled soon.
Organisers are currently negotiating with three other acts, but are keeping tight-lipped over their identities.
All the acts will perform in an open-air arena near to Haigh Hall.
Pete Burt, executive director for service development with organisers Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, said: "This concert series will bring some of the very biggest names in the music business into the borough's back yard and because it's close to both the M6 and M61 it's within easy reach for the whole of the North West."
The remaining three acts to be signed up for the concerts will only be unveiled in March, but that didn't stop speculation as to who they could be.
