Higher Rhythm worked with Doncaster Rovers football club throughout 2019/20 to deliver a series of outdoor stage music events in the fan park outside of the club’s stadium. Site surveys were conducted alongside the general live event consultation to create a series of live music outdoor-stage events featuring lineups of emerging music artists (who were also selected and supported through the process by higher rhythm)

Working closely with rovers we helped them assure the events ran smoothly, safely and deliver a great experience for the large outdoor audiences that attended them.  Our radio station, Sine FM is now official partner of Doncaster Rovers supporting the club to produce their weekly digital video and audio podcasts for fans.
