The Proclaimers said: “We are delighted to be playing at Party At The Palace and to be doing so in such a beautiful location. We hope everyone that comes along has a great time, it will be a brilliant day”
Sunday headliner, Billy Ocean is excited to be playing north of the border again. He said: “I am looking forward to coming to the Party at the Palace. Bring your dancing shoes and be ready to sing along to all my hits. It’s always great fun in Scotland!”
John Richardson and Peter Ferguson, PATP Producers said: “At the end of our first year we thought – how are we going to top that line up? and then last year we brought more great bands to play here and we asked the same question. It’s never easy for independent festivals to compete with the big boys so to secure the calibre of acts we have for this year is absolutely fantastic and the feedback we’ve received already has been amazing. August can’t come soon enough!”
Other big news for this year’s event…
McEwan’s Party at The Palace has jumped across the loch for 2016.
The move will allow a second stage to be introduced to the event, giving more bands access to the festival. It also gives festival go-ers easier access. It’s closer to the parking areas, increases capacity and allows us to havemore on site facilities such as improved kids zone and more food outlets. It still has an amazing view overlooking the palace and down the loch.
