Shaun Keaveny returns to Old Trafford

Radio presenter Shaun Keaveny will perform a DJ set ahead of the Betfred Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday, September 24.

This will be Shaun’s second appearance at Old Trafford having performed at the 2014 Grand Final ahead of the memorable James set, which included their iconic Sit Down performance.

Having been a regular on BBC radio for 14 years Shaun recently left his 6 Music afternoon show to concentrate on other opportunities. This has included a new Radio 4 travel show called Your Place Or Mine with recent guests including Guy Garvey, Aatif Nawaz and Michaela Strachan.

Shaun’s TV career includes Richard Osman's House Of Games, Pointless and The Great Exhibition of The North as well as co-hosting live coverage of the Isle of Wight Festival in 2021 for Sky Arts.

Growing up in Leigh, Shaun is a big fan of Rugby League and can’t wait to be part of Super League’s biggest night of the year.

On the announcement Shaun Keaveny said, “WHAT AN HONOUR!! Getting to provide the soundtrack to the opening of such a gladiatorial contest is a thrill indeed!

“I’ve got a big bag of Shania Twain and I can’t wait to deploy it. See you at Old Trafford.??

Keaveny follows in the footsteps of previous Grand Final DJs Craig Charles, Stuart Maconie and DJ Spoony, who have all helped to kick the entertainment off in style.
