Playground Festival 2021 has announced another special guest to their fantastic line-up - and we cannot wait.
Manchester band James will take the stage on Friday, July 30, joining Underworld on the opening day of the much anticipated festival at Rouken Glen Park, East Renfrewshire.
James frontman Tim Booth said: “We are very happy to be playing the Playground Festival sandwiched in between Underworld and Leftfield.
“Underworld have created some of my favourite tracks - at least one will be danced to at my funeral - they are true pioneers of new musical forms that deepen with age”
As special guests, festival favourites James will bring their packed back catalogue to provide a hit-packed set as well as unveiling some long-awaited new music to delight the crowd.
They join previously announced star names including Kraftwerk 3D, Nile Rodgers and CHIC, Gary Numan, Jon Hopkins performing live, Neneh Cherry, Kelis and many, many more.
Organisers had to pull the plug on this summer's event as the coronavirus pandemic devastated the gig scene, but they have promised that next year's weekend will be bigger and better than ever.
Tickets are on sale now priced £59 per day or £159 for full three-day weekend, with a three-day VIP upgrade just £80 (all prices plus booking fee).
Ashleigh Elliott of Playground Festival said: “We are thrilled to reveal our Special Guests, welcoming James to Rouken Glen Park.
“James are one of the best festival bands of all time, with an incredible array of singalong anthems our family will love.
“We believe this is the best festival line-up of 2021 and judging by ticket sales, our festival family agree. So don’t hang about – buy now because this event WILL sell out.”
