UB40 topped the UK singles chart on three occasions and sold 70 million records as they took their smooth yet rootsy musical blend to all corners of the globe. They topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with reggae covers of ‘Red Red Wine’ and ‘I Got You Babe’ (with Chrissie Hynde), while scoring a UK No.1 with ‘(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You’.
Comments Ali Campbell, the voice of UB40: “We’re really looking forward to making our debut at Let’s Rock Scotland. We’ve heard great things about the energy of the crowds at these festivals, which is something we love to tap into. Sunshine, good vibes and reggae music… the perfect summer’s evening!”
Glamorous pop duo Dollar had nine UK Top 20 hits between 1978-1988 including ‘Mirror Mirror’, ‘Oh L’Amour’ and ‘Love’s Gotta Hold On Me”. Dollar were one of groundbreaking producer Trevor Horn’s earliest productions, paving the way for his era-defining work with ABC, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Seal, Grace Jones & more.
Comments Thereza Bazar: “I am so thrilled to be part of the Let’s Rock Scotland line-up, performing Thereza Bazar’s Dollar show for the very first time. After years away from the spotlight, I’m back with the same passion and excitement that I felt in the ‘80s when I was crowned ‘The First Princess of Pop!’ So you had better get sparkled up and ready for an amazing, glamorous pop party!”
The new partnership of Let’s Rock Scotland & Party at The Palace unites two festivals with a proven track record of delivering successful events in Scotland and who share the same values, offering joyous, family-friendly events which provide a fantastic festival experience at a fair price.
2024 marks 10 years since the very first Party at The Palace, and what better way to celebrate than to join forces with Let’s Rock Scotland to create something truly special.
Comments Nick Billinghurst, director UK Live, organisers of Let’s Rock Scotland: “We are so excited about our new partnership with Party at the Palace and our first festival at our new location, which is only 25 minutes from our original site in Dalkeith. We think this is the perfect line-up for the happy, party vibes which we’re renowned for. Double the event means double the fun! Join us for a weekend full of music, laughter and celebration at our new home in Scotland!”
Comments John Richardson, director Party at The Palace: “Party at The Palace is in its tenth year now and this collaboration will help ensure we are here for another ten years.
