Daniel Sloss and Craig Hill are the first confirmed Edinburgh Festival Fringe Shows of 2021.
Daniel, 30, who this became the biggest tour event on the planet when his new show Hubris toured Australia, is the first big name to return to the Fringe this year.
The Edinburgh Fringe favourite is box office gold and while other venues decide what they will do will play the Corn Exchange which is going to be used for the first time in its history as a Fringe Hub.
This year’s Fringe takes place between August 6-30 and comes after the world’s best known arts festival was cancelled last year because of Covid.
While the Edinburgh Fringe has been given the green-light to return there will be Covid-enforced restrictions and more digital events. Before now, no shows have been announced.
Live Nation has teamed up with three of the top Fringe 2021 shows Daniel, Craig and Henning Wehn at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange from August 5 to August 8.
They will operate two rooms with capacities from 100-400 socially distant audiences.
Daniel will bring his 11th solo show, Daniel Sloss: Hubris to the Fringe direct from his 2021 Australian tour which saw him play 32 shows in 30 days to over 40,000 people - making it the largest indoor event of any genre on the planet.
Ian Coburn from Live Nation said: “We are really excited to be opening up the Corn Exchange to the Fringe and looking forward to working with other promoters and artists to bring some certainty for Fringe performers in such uncertain times; all while providing a much-needed, great night of live entertainment.”
