Joining Travis on Saturday 3rd June is none other than The Proclaimers. With their charismatic amalgam of rock, folk, soul and country, twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reid emerged 35 years ago with their debut album This Is The Story and Top 3 single Letter from America. Since then their enduring appeal across generations has seen them enjoy huge success across the globe – selling 5 million albums worldwide. The band are currently on a sold-out 35 date tour around the UK and Ireland, supporting the release of their punchy, political album Dentures Out released earlier this year. Recorded at Rockfield studios over a three week period, Louder Than War said the album showcases the band at their sharpest, wittiest, loudest and rocking best.

Having released two successful solo albums in the '90s and early '00s, Heather returned with her first solo album in 16 years in 2022, Colour My Life. The album features re-works of some of her biggest hits, Moving on Up, How Can I Love You More, Search For The Hero and more, including a duet with Alfie Boe, Don’t Look Any Further.
