Organisers of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay 2010/11 have announced that indie legends The Charlatans will be performing alongside Edinburgh’s Hogmanay headliners Biffy Clyro at the Concert in the Gardens; the music and fireworks spectacular widely seen as one of the greatest celebrations of New Year in the world.
For more than two decades now, The Charlatans have been an inspirational force in British rock. Celebrating their twentieth anniversary in 2010, the band will end their celebration year with their Edinburgh’s Hogmanay debut, performing countless hits from their remarkable back catalogue of eleven studio albums. From the immortal strains of breakthrough hit ‘The Only One I Know’ to current album ‘Who We Touch’, the band remain as exciting and relevant now, as when they first broke through – if not, more so, as a new generation of young bands and fans today hail them as lifelong heroes.
The Charlatans and Concert in the Gardens host, BBC Radio presenter Vic Galloway, join headliners Biffy Clyro whose critically acclaimed album ‘Only Revolutions’ hailed as one of the finest albums of the year, has exceeded 300,000 sales in the UK alone and earned the band their first Platinum-selling album as well as their first Mercury Music nomination.

Stuart Nisbet, Music Programmer for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, said: ‘It’s always much more exciting when a Scottish band has done so well that we can invite them to headline Edinburgh’s Hogmanay. If they also happen to be one of the best live acts on the planet, things get really interesting. In announcing The Charlatans, another brilliant and hugely influential live band, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay 2011 is shaping up to be one of the best ever’
Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Presenter and Concert in the Gardens host, said: ‘I can’t wait for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay to present this show – I’ve loved Biffy Clyro since before they were signed, and now my boys are one of the biggest and best rock bands in the world. And to have Manchester legends The Charlatans there as well, what a night – it’s just top!”
