Orange RockCorps organised a one-off show at the Manchester Apollo on July 13 as a way of saying thank you to the 3,000 volunteers who gave up four hours to work on community projects across Manchester.
Tom Clarke, lead singer of The Enemy, spoke of the bands support for Orange RockCorps and the unique event, praising how the charity teaches young people the act of earning their rewards in life.
The Enemy mainly sang songs from their debut album Well Live And Die In These Towns, including the singles Had Enough, Away From Here and Youre Not Alone, dedicating the latter to Lady GaGa herself.
She followed The Enemy on stage, performing current single Paparazzi as well as Just Dance from the album The Fame.
Lady GaGa also spoke of her support for Orange RockCorps, saying that she got involved with the show because she wanted to help make the volunteers in the audience feel like stars, just as she dreamt of stardom herself when she was younger.
Fans of The Enemy and Lady GaGa can still catch them in action before the end of the year. They will both be at V Festival at Chelmsford Hylands Park and Shifnal Weston Park (August 22-23).
The Enemy will be touring the UK in November, playing venues like the Edinburgh Corn Exchange (November 10), Sheffield O2 Academy (November 12) and the London HMV Forum (November 19) before drawing the tour to a close at the Manchester Apollo (November 29).
