THE first-ever Party at the Park will take place in Perth next summer, with Kaiser Chiefs, The Charlatans, Embrace and Fun Lovin' Criminals all confirmed.

Ash and The Lightning Seeds will also perform along with Gun, Colonel Mustard & The Dijon 5, Callum Beattie, Tide Lines and Be Charlotte.

Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves have also been confirmed alongside Skerryvore, Tide Lines, Stephanie Cheape, Toploader, 100 Fables, Post Ironic State and The Riot Vans.

The event - run by the organisers of Party at the Palace - has been due to make its bow in 2020 before the Covid-19 outbreak put paid to the idea.

However, not to be deterred, the inaugural Perth event has been confirmed for the South Inch on Saturday and Sunday, June 26-27, 2021.

A statement on the event's Facebook page read: "2020 won’t go down in the history books as a great year but we've been busy planning to make up for it in a big way in 2021.

"For the first time in many years, Perth will once again play host to some of the biggest names in music with The Kaiser Chiefs, The Charlatans, Embrace, Ash and Fun Loving Criminals among the acts coming to party on the South Inch on Saturday 26th and 27th June 2021.

"There is a strong Scottish contingent performing also with Gun, Skerryvore, Tide Line, Callum Beattie and Be Charlotte appearing on the main stage. Even closer to home, the Twa Tams stage will feature the very best in local talent."
