This years Newry City Halloween Concert on Thursday the 31st of October will be an X Factor free event with the major emphasis on home grown talent including a performance from local band The Nooks.
Newry's past X Factor fixation saw X Factor competitors make many concert appearances in recent years including Matt Cardle this year, Amelia Lily in 2012, Jedward and Lloyd Daniels in 2011; Eoghan Quigg in 2009, Shayne Ward in 2007 and probably others as well.
The Halloween Concert takes place this year at the Albert Basin.
A novel Floating Stage will be used following on from Septembers Festival of Water Concert with Matt Cardle on the water outside The Quays.
The free concert will take place from 6.30pm to 9pm and includes performances from Jimmy Buckley who no doubt will be singing his latest single Cajun Baby.
Also on the bill The Nooks, The Housem8s, Johnny Brady and compere Conor Phillips.
The event will conclude with a fireworks display.
