Gwen Stefani to Switch on Christmas Lights at Westfield

How to get free wristbands to see singer in action on Thursday

American singer songwriter Gwen Stefani is coming to Westfield in Shepherd's Bush on Thursday 30 November for a spectacular celebration of the festive season.

Gwen will be taking to the stage in Westfield's Atrium from 6pm to begin the countdown to a display of pyrotechnics and to switch on the centre's Christmas lights before performing four of her best known songs, including of course, You Make It Feel Like Christmas.

To join Gwen, you will need an event wristband for the general viewing area. These will be given out before her performance on Thursday at a collection point outside All Saints store.

Westfield says there are 2,000 free wristbands being given away, but as it will be first come, first served, the advice is to get there early - two hours early to get the best viewing spots.
