Rowetta Rocks VIP Fanzone in Stylish Adidas Suit

Vip Fanzone Debut In Bilbao

Bilbao’s Etxebarria Park was alive with the buzz of Manchester United supporters ahead of the Europa League Final—and on center stage stood Rowetta. The British singer, known for her work with Happy Mondays and a memorable stint on The X Factor, delivered a high-energy set in the VIP Fanzone wearing a head-turning Adidas suit. Her Instagram caption read: “One of Manchester’s finest reds, in the @ManchesterUnited Fanzone VIP wearing the finest Adidas suit, the always lovely @tombloxhammbe 🙌🏽❤️🤍🖤 x.” Fans cheered as she kicked off her performance playlist, blending classic tunes with modern flair.

Stage Lineup And Set Times

Rowetta’s appearance formed part of a carefully curated live music schedule at the fan zone. In an earlier Instagram post, she shared her excitement: “Running through my sets in the bath before breakfast… Jay Dunn: 11am / Andy Cole & Denis Irwin 1pm then Rowetta / Mani / Liam Fray / Sean Mac. The Final 🏆” On match day, she hit the stage at 1pm and again at 4pm local time, slotting between indie rocker Liam Fray and former Stone Roses bassist Mani. This line-up underscored United’s aim to blend football heritage with Manchester’s storied music scene.

Fashion Statement In Adidas

Rowetta’s choice of a tailored Adidas suit fused athletic heritage with runway polish. The monochrome ensemble featured the brand’s signature three-stripe detailing along the sleeves and pant legs, paired with sleek white trainers. By layering on minimal jewelry and subtle makeup, she let the suit’s sharp lines and high-contrast palette shine. Fans immediately took note on social feeds, praising her as a trendsetter who bridges sport and style.

A Storied Career

Born Rowetta Bingham in Manchester, she rose to prominence as the powerhouse vocalist on Happy Mondays’ 1990s hits like “Step On.” After branching out with solo work and reality TV, she cemented her status as a stage force. Her Fanzone performance marked a homecoming of sorts—returning to her roots as a proud Mancunian artist. In another Instagram throwback, she paid tribute to George Best, posting: “Happy Birthday to one of the greatest ever ⚽🎂 A true Legend—George Best… holding George’s first football boots.” That post underlined Rowetta’s deep connection to United’s history.

Mixing Music, Sport And Broadcast

Beyond live gigs, Rowetta has kept fans engaged through media appearances. She sat down with the BBC Manchester sports team for pre-match interviews alongside Andrew Bowman and her former BBC Red Wednesday colleagues. Clips of her banter and insights into the match atmosphere made rounds on Twitter, showcasing her versatility as both a singer and broadcaster.

Rowetta’s Fanzone stint came amid Manchester United’s drive to enhance the fan experience abroad—pairing music and celebrity appearances with match-day rituals. Supporters in Bilbao could enter the park for free between 11:00 and 18:00 local time, enjoying a 20,000-strong gathering that mixed live acts, Q&A sessions with United legends, and big-screen action. Rowetta’s performance was a highlight, drawing applause from locals and traveling fans alike.

This blend of sport, music and style speaks to Rowetta’s unique place in Manchester culture. She seamlessly moves from stadium stages to studio booths, from chart-topping dance records to hip-hop collaborations, always bringing an authentic Mancunian spirit.

As the final whistle blew in Bilbao’s stadium, Rowetta wrapped her twice-daily Fanzone set, waved to the crowd, and then watched the match alongside the VIP group. By the end of the weekend, she had cemented her reputation as much more than a guest performer—she was a symbol of the city’s enduring soundtrack.

For those who witnessed it live or caught clips online, Rowetta’s appearance in that sleek Adidas suit will go down as one of the standout moments of United’s European trip—a perfect marriage of passion, performance and sport style.
