A major Scottish band are set to play at 'Scotland’s biggest night of traditional music' in Glasgow this December.
Runrig is set to make an appearance at this year's The Hoolie in the Hydro, which has been described as 'the single biggest night of traditional music to have ever taken place in Scotland'.
With an all-star line-up of some of the top names in Scottish music, Hoolie in the Hydro will return to The Ovo Hydro on Saturday, December 9.
Organised by Gary Innes, the line-up for the musical celebration includes Scottish supergroup Mànran, Celtic rockers Wolfstone, festival favourites Trail West, and social media singing sensation Nati Dreddd.
The iconic Runrig drummer Iain Bayne will lead the celebration, with legendary singer Julie Fowlis, to celebrate Scottish Celtic band Runrig’s incredible 50th-anniversary milestone.
Hoolie in the Hydro organiser, broadcaster and musician Gary Innes, said: "The reaction to the first Hoolie in the Hydro was just phenomenal – there was such a party atmosphere on the night and it was incredible to see the reaction from the audience as they watched some of their favourite bands and musicians perform for the first time in our country’s largest arena.
"The amazing feedback and instant demand after the concert showed me that the appetite was very much there to come together to make history once again.
"So, here we are for a second year with a fantastic line-up and I am personally over the moon to get the opportunity from Runrig to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
"It will be yet another amazing night to remember."
Julie Fowlis added: "It’s so exciting to be part of Hoolie in the Hydro this year.
"It’s a real testament to the strength of the trad scene in Scotland just now and how quickly it’s growing, and seeing the demand for events such as this is just fantastic.
"It’s going to be an incredible night."
While Iain Bayne commented: "Where better to celebrate 50 years of Runrig’s music than at The Hydro, surrounded by some of the finest musicians and the best fans in the world."

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!
