The strong crowd responded in a shower of red confetti. In a viral clip which gained over 136,000 likes, Mia reflected, “POV: You went to a rave inside Northumberland St Greggs.”

“Fellow British DJ and producer Charlie Boon kicked off the night with a one-hour warm-up set before Schak and Will Atkinson took to the stage. It might be a one-of-a-kind experience for us, but this isn’t the first time Schak has performed somewhere unexpected.

“From the Tyne and Wear Metro to the top level of a double-decker bus it was only a matter of time before we rolled out the red carpet and hosted one of his performances at Greggs. If you missed out, fear not. Have a listen to ‘Yesterday’ by Schak & Will Atkinson x Abi Flynn on Armada Music.”
