Mark Ronson set to headline Edinburgh Hogmanay concert
Mark Ronson has been named as the headline act for the next Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh.
The record producer, songwriter and DJ will host a massive party in the Scottish capital’s Princes Street Gardens as people welcome in 2020.
Ronson is known for his collaborations with various pop stars, including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus Bruno Mars, with whom he made the global smash hit Uptown Funk, and Amy Winehouse who he collaborated with on the cover of Valerie. Earlier this year, he also won an Oscar for co-writing the song Shallow from the 2018 film A Star Is Born.
Charlie Wood and Ed Bartlam, directors of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, said: “In our third year producing Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, we’re bringing one of the biggest DJS in the world to Edinburgh to throw one almighty party.
“Mark is a multi-awardwinning producer and DJ whose music has been the soundtrack to this decade, there is simply no one in the world better to play out the last hours of 2019 and bring in 2020.”
The show will be complete with iconic trumpet fanfares and more bangers than the midnight fireworks, making it the best place to welcome the new decade.
