Music legend Midge is partying at the palace
SHIRLEY BARTYNEK
Cambuslang’s Midge Ure is set to play the main stage of this year’s award-winning family festival Party at the Palace.
Organisers of the two-day event announced that the top line-up for 2019 will include the Ultravox singer.
He will perform on Saturday, August 10, alongside The Charlatans and KT Tunstall.
The weekend continues with Sunday headliners Deacon Blue, plus Wet Wet Wet and the Fun Lovin’ Criminals.
This is the sixth outing for the Linlithgow festival and it is set to be another highlight in Scotland’s live music calendar.
In addition to two days of great live music, the festival will also feature a fun fair, kids’ entertainment, a market area, a street food scene and a pamper zone.
Co-producer John Richardson is thrilled to be bringing such an impressive line-up to his home town.
He said: “We say the same each year, however, we are genuinely delighted with this year’s line-up. There is something for everyone with some truly iconic Scottish acts, some festival favourites and great new bands who will perhaps go on to headline festivals in years to come.”
Fellow producer Peter Ferguson is proud of the festival’s eco policies, and said: “We are aiming to become one of the first carbon-neutral music festivals this year.
“This follows on from the massive reduction of plastic in 2018, where plastic cups were replaced with compostable cups, there were no plastic cutlery or food containers and no plastic straws either.”
Wet Wet Wet are also excited about being part of this year’s line up, and said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be one of the headliners at Party at The Palace this summer. There’s no better feeling than playing to a Scottish audience, and what a treat to get to play in such a stunning location.
“So, come and dance the night away with us, on what’s guaranteed to be a special night.”
