Edinburgh Castle Promoters Media release 26th Nov
The Proclaimers Edinburgh Castle concert sold out in just under 10 minutes with Regular Music / Castle Concerts reporting this as the fastest sell out in their 25-year history. The second show at Edinburgh Castle was added with tickets going on sale Friday afternoon, this show also sold out within 24 hours, which Castle Concerts are also reporting as never before seen demand.
What makes this even more extraordinary is that all their other Scottish shows experienced similar sensational demand with Melrose selling out on our opening weekend and the Hydro show with only a few remaining sections still available for sale.
All the above lead to The Proclaimers jumping straight in at number 3 on the Ticketmaster’s weekly UK national sales chart. This is a truly stunning achievement as unlike the others, this was for ticket sales only in Scotland.
UK viewers outside Scotland will be able to watch David Tennant host an in-depth retrospective of his favourite band for the first time later this month. The hour long documentary The Proclaimers: This Is The Story was commissioned by BBC Scotland and has previously only aired on BBC Two Scotland in June 2017 and on BBC One Scotland on New Year’s Day. The programme will now be shown on Friday 30th November at 9.00pm GMT on BBC Four.
The second Edinburgh Castle concert on Sunday 21st July is now also sold out as is Melrose Annay Road on June Saturday 15th June.
The Big top events in Melrose and Inverness will see gates opening at 3.00pm, with three support acts (to be announced shortly) beginning at 4.30pm , interspersed with a DJ and The Proclaimers on stage at 8.00pm. There will be a Local & Artisan Food Village, other stalls and licensed bars on sites.
