SOME of Scotland’s most exciting up-and-coming musical acts are set for an exclusive live performance this September after M&Ds revealed the line-up for their Drive-In Gig at Strathclyde Park.
The event, set to take place across September 4 and 5, will allow music lovers to enjoy a special socially distanced concert featuring acts such as local singer Carly Connor, Glasgow-based soul and funk band Tom McGuire & The Brassholes and previous Scottish Alternative Music Award Best Live Act and festival favourites Colonel Mustard & The Dijon 5, all from the comfort of their car.
And as a thank you to all the NHS workers for their continued efforts, the first night of the event will be solely dedicated to them – with free tickets offered to them on the concert’s debut evening.
On the second day there is also a VIP package option which includes one car entry to the concert, as well as two slush smoothies or cold drinks and two Scotland’s Drive In Gig T-shirts. The VIP tickets are limited to 50 cars.
After regular sell-out shows at venues across Scotland and receiving an induction into the Barrowland Hall of Fame back in 2018, Colonel Mustard & The Dijon 5 will be bringing their eye-catching, genre-hopping live show to Strathclyde Park, headlining the line-up across both days.
There will also be a warm-up set from the band’s Mark “DJ5” Lang, who will be welcoming guests with a series of dance anthems and club classics.
Marc Taylor, of Scotland’s Theme Park, said: “The past few months of lockdown have been particularly challenging, especially for NHS staff who have been under a huge amount of pressure. We hope that the Drive-In Gig is a way that we can thank them and for everyone to have a safe and enjoyable evening of live music.
“We’re excited to bring our reimagining of the concert experience to Strathclyde Park for a two-night extravaganza that’s set to hit the right note for music lovers.”
Tickets to the event are priced at £45 per car and can be booked from June 29 by visiting the website www.scotlandsthemepark.com.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
