The line-up of Edinburgh’s ‘Night Afore Disco Party’ Hogmanay party has been revealed.
International DJ Hot Dub Time Machine returns to the capital for the first time in a decade for the concert beneath the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
The gig will be Australian musician’s only UK appearance in 2024, and will showcase his ‘dance through the decades’ audio-visual party at West Princes Street Gardens on Monday 30 December.
Also on the bill are joined The Cuban Brothers and Edinburgh funk trio High Fade.
Since launching in 2011, Hot Dub Time Machine has become a global phenomenon with sell-out shows and festival appearances everywhere from T in the Park to Coachella.
DJ Tom Lowndes, aka Hot Dub Time Machine said, “I’m coming back for Hogmanay! I’ve always wanted to play on the bandstand, and to do it around Hogmanay is a dream come true.”
The Cuban Brothers said, “It is very exciting to be performing back in the capital city for Hogmanay for the first time in a decade.”
High Fade said, “From busking on the Mound to playing the Night Afore Party in our home city means the world to us, we can’t wait to play with some of our favourites and put on the show Edinburgh deserves.”
City of Edinburgh Council Culture and Communities Convener Val Walker said: “Hot Dub Time Machine is always the best party in town and what better way to get ready for a brand new year by dancing your way through all the hits of years gone by.
"The Night Afore Disco Party in Princes Street Gardens has been a fantastic addition to the Edinburgh Hogmanay line up in recent years, and with the addition of The Cuban Brothers and High Fade - it will certainly be one to remember. This promises to be a spectacular night of genre melting music and I’d advise getting in early for tickets to avoid disappointment.
