Scottish legends Deacon Blue are set to headline Lincoln Castle next summer.
Deacon Blue - the hitmakers behind The Real Gone Kid and Dignity - headline the historic venue as part of their The Great Western Road Trip Rolls On tour, with very special guests Lightning Seeds.
Celebrating 40 years since Ross and Dougie Vipond first formed Deacon Blue, the band’s Lincoln headline show will be a career-spanning night of hits including Chocolate Girl, Wages Day and Fergus Sings The Blues — alongside highlights from The Great Western Road, their most successful studio release in more than three decades, reaching Number 3 in the UK and topping the Scottish Album Chart.
Speaking about hitting the road, frontman Ricky Ross said: “No one knows where The Great Western Road ends up, least of all us! For now the road goes on and next summer we are taking the shows to some beautiful outdoor venues. We can’t wait to see you there and we promise to make every night very special.”
With more than 7 million albums sold, two UK Number One albums, and a songbook filled with heartfelt, singalong hits, Deacon Blue remain one of the UK’s most enduring and best- loved live acts. Their headline show at Lincoln promises to be a celebration of their remarkable story – and a showcase of a band still creating, evolving, and connecting with fans new and old.
Joining them will be Liverpudlian indie icons Lightning Seeds, the masterminds behind timeless favourites Pure, Lucky You, and The Life of Riley.
Tickets on sale 10am Friday 7 November.
