Primal Scream confirmed for Hogmanay street party

City centre accommodation in Edinburgh will no doubt be popular with people heading to the city for this year's Hogmanay.

However, Edinburgh hostels may be even more in demand this year, as Primal Scream have been confirmed to play at the Concert in the Gardens event in Princes Street Gardens this Hogmanay, reports the Scotsman.

The band will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Screamadelica album by playing the entire record before the clock strikes midnight on Scotland's last day of the year.

Pete Irvine, director of Edinburgh's Hogmanay, explained that he hopes Primal Scream will attract fans from Glasgow to the event.

He told the news provider: "Many Edinburgh people hardly ever go to Glasgow except for things like the football, and 'Weegies' hardly ever come here.

"But [Primal Scream] have a big following in the west and that is a hugely influential album, so we think people will come from Glasgow and elsewhere."
