Top acts revealed for festival

- DOUGLAS DICKIE

Local lass Be Charlotte is among the acts confirmed to be appearing at the Party in the Park festival in Perth later this year.

She will appear on the bill alongside the likes if indie-favourites The Charlatans and Embrace.

Other acts confirmed to appear include Hot Dub Time Machine, Scouting For Girls, Gun, Tide Lines, Skerryvore, Toploader and the Lightning Seeds.

Party at The Park will take place on the South Inch over the weekend of June 27 and 28.

There will be over 50 live performanc­es over the weekend, and organisers say there will be something for everyone’s musical tastes.

There will also be a dedicated kids zone to keep the youngsters happy.

The team behind the event have already been running a successful event in West Lothian - Party at The Palace - and they were keen to bring the award winning event north.

Party in the Park director Peter Ferguson said: “We had been looking at sites across the country and Perth just offered so much in terms of location and accessibil­ity as well as a very experience­d team at Perth and Kinross Council to help pull it together.

“Our event in Linlithgow has a fantastic reputation of a safe, family friendly festival that is just the right size.

“We limit our ticket sales purposeful­ly to around 7000 per day as it is not too big and not too small.

“We hope to replicate the success of our Linlithgow event in Perth and hope to establish them both as firm favourites in the summer events calendar.”
