4 million people will attend a festival or outdoor event, while nearly 2
million will attend shows at indoor venues across the country. With Harry Styles,
Lady Gaga, Eagles, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Billie Eilish all on tour, there

Denis
Desmond Chairman Live Nation UK and Ireland says ‘It is wonderful to see fans
reunited with the artists they love, and new bands forging their futures. This
will be a summer to remember’.
Fans will
not only be attending their favourite festivals but also experiencing five new
festivals and editions that Live Nation has to offer this year in the region.
British
fans have been waiting to see their favourite acts and are ready to celebrate together
with friends and family again – in Scotland, 24% of the population will attend
a DF Concerts show or festival this summer.
While 2019
was itself a record year, this summer is tracking to be one for the books. #SummerIsHERE.
