The excitement is building as Texas has been announced as the headliners for this year's Edinburgh Hogmanay concert. It's not their first time performing at this world-renowned event, as they previously graced the stage in 2005. Their recent string of sold-out arena shows has only added to the anticipation for their return.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, the band will treat the audience to a setlist filled with their biggest hits from the past few decades, including fan favorites like "I Don't Want a Lover" and "Say What You Want." Since their chart-topping debut in 1989, Texas has released ten studio albums and sold over 40 million records worldwide, solidifying their status as one of the UK's most beloved bands.
Sharleen Spiteri, the lead singer of Texas, expressed her excitement for their third appearance at the event, saying, "We can't wait to perform here again. So put on your best outfits and let's party into the New Year!" And with 45,000 festival-goers expected to join in the celebration at the Edinburgh's Hogmanay Street Party, it's sure to be an unforgettable night.
The concert will be hosted by comedian Susie McCabe, and joining Texas on stage will be Edinburgh-born musician Callum Beattie. Callum's journey to this point has been inspiring, starting with busking outside the city's Usher Hall and now selling out multiple shows at the iconic venue. He shared his excitement for the opportunity to perform at the Concert in the Gardens for Hogmanay, saying, "In just a few years, I've gone from selling 30 tickets to sold-out shows, but this is by far the biggest highlight of my career. And to share the stage with Sharleen and the rest of the band makes it even sweeter. I'm still in disbelief!"
Val Walker of the City of Edinburgh Council also expressed her delight in having Texas return to headline the event, stating, "I'm thrilled that this year's Concert in the Gardens will feature such a strong Scottish lineup. It's sure to be an incredible party to ring in 2025, with the added bonus of having a front-row seat to the midnight fireworks over Edinburgh Castle. This city continues to be the ultimate destination for New Year's celebrations, and I can't wait to see the full Hogmanay program revealed."
