Back by popular demand, the Batala group will be a central element to this year’s entertainment.

Batala Liverpool play a unique style of samba originating from Salvador, Brazil and known as Samba-Reggae. They are a community project and currently have over 70 members who perform at events all around the world including the world famous Salvador Carnival. 

The members thoroughly enjoy expressing themselves with the unique rhythms and energetic dance which sets Batala apart and were joined by many of the Kenyan supporters last year.

Check them out this year on pitch and around the stadium creating a storm of rhythms. Join in and let yourself go.

The Band in the Stand have been busy since last year’s Emirates Airline London Sevens. As well as supporting Ricky Hatton in his world title fight in Las Vegas they have accompanied the England football team on nine occasions at home and abroad including games in Kazakhstan, Holland, Qatar and Ukraine.

We are excited about having them back at Twickenham for this year’s Sevens party so look out for them making some noise and supporting our boys in the North and South Stands across the weekend. Come on England!

Battle of the Stands

Throughout the weekend we will be play pumping tunes and doing some fun filming in the stands to really get the party going. So get up, get dancing to get your moment of fame on the big screens.
