Summer Sessions is back in Princes Street Gardens this year – with a big line-up.
Edinburgh will rock to the sounds of Sir Tom Jones, Lionel Richie and Simple Minds.
Some of the biggest names in showbusiness over the last decades are coming to Edinburgh this summer with Tom Jones, Lionel Richie, McFly, Simple Minds and Travis alongside Michael Kiwanuka and The 1975. Six of the seven artists are coming to Edinburgh’s Summer Sessions for the first time.
The concerts take place in the gardens against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle during August and tickets go on sale tomorrow.
Scotland’s most successful rock band ever, Simple Minds, join the 2020 line-up as they headline on 18th August 2020.
With one of the most iconic back catalogues in the world and celebrating 40 years of hits this year, the legendary Glasgow band are responsible for huge anthems that will go down a storm with the Edinburgh Summer Sessions crowd, like the classic ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ ‘Alive and Kicking’ and ‘Belfast Child’.
Jim Kerr said: “Among the 100 plus shows we have lined up for our upcoming World tour, we are delighted to now be added to the line-up for Edinburgh Summer Sessions. No one enjoys playing in Scotland more than we do, and we are sure that Simple Minds fans from far and wide will want to join us for what is set to be a memorable concert in our capital city. We look forward to it immensely!”
