Runrig, has today (Tuesday 29th November) announced details of its first concert in Scotland in almost two years.

The band, which has had an 18 month sabbatical from the touring circuit, is back on the road in 2012 with its Rewired Tour, playing its only outdoor Scottish date on Saturday 25th August at Northern Meeting Park, Inverness.

Tickets go on sale on Friday 2nd December at 9am for the show commissioned by award-winning Scottish concert and events promoter CK Events and will see the band perform new material to a limited capacity audience of 7,500.

The band, which has released thirteen studio albums, is returning from the break with new material and a renewed sense of purpose. They will return to the stage refreshed and re-invigorated, with a revamped show and set, working up to, and focusing on 2013, a significant milestone for the band which will see it celebrate 40 years in the music business.

Lead singer, Bruce Guthro, said:

“They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and, I know that I speak for all of us when I say, I’m really excited about getting back on stage with the band again. I think the break has been very positive for us all – it has given us a freshness, and an energy, of which the audience will, hopefully, be the main benefactors.”

Kenny Cameron of CK Events said:

“We’re delighted to be bringing Runrig back to Scotland after a two year absence.

“Runrig is a long-standing Scottish group, renowned for always putting on a great show. To welcome the band to Inverness for its only outdoor Scottish concert of the year, is a great honour and is shaping-up to be a fantastic night featuring performances of hits including Loch Lomond as well as new material prepared in recent months.

“Tickets are limited for this concert and initial demand is expected to be high when tickets go on sale on Friday.”
