Pulp will headline this year’s Hogmanay ‘Concert In The Gardens’ to mark the 30th anniversary of the Edinburgh event.
Jarvis Cocker and co. will play their first show in the Scottish capital in more than 20 years on December 31, helping revellers ring in 2024 in style.
The vocalist says: “When your grandkids ask, ‘Do you remember the first time Pulp played Edinburgh’s Hogmanay?’ What will your answer be? Come along and start 2024 in the very best way possible. Oh yes.”
The group will perform to around 40,000 fans in Edinburgh city centre and Princes Street for the party, with attendees who aren’t at the concert able to watch the performance on screens positioned throughout Princes Street in the ‘Pop Zone’.
“Reaching the milestone 30th anniversary for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay is a phenomenal achievement, which since 1993 has welcomed millions of party people to celebrate at the Home of Hogmanay added the Directors of UniqueAssembly, which creates and produces Edinburgh’s Hogmanay on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council.
“We wanted to make sure that this year was extra special for our audiences and are thrilled to welcome Pulp to the party. This will be the hottest ticket in town, and we recommend people grab their tickets fast to make sure they don’t miss out.”
Special guests for the concert are to be announced, along with details of the expanded four-day programme of events, which runs from December 29, 2023 through January 1, 2024.
Tickets go on sale Friday, September 29 at 10am BST. A 50p charity donation is included in each ticket sale.
