EXTRA tickets have been released for Skerryvore's 20th anniversary concert at a castle in the Borders due to high demand, organisers have announced.
With an increased capacity and special guest acts added to the bill, Skerryvore XX will take place at Floors Castle in Kelso on Saturday, May 31.
Despite already being the legendary band’s biggest show to date, it is growing even larger with an additional 2000 tickets available after selling out 5000.
Organisers have said fans from five continents have snapped up tickets to be part of the milestone event celebrating the band's two-decade-long career.
Fellow Tiree natives Trail West join the bill, having played at festivals across Scotland alongside Skerryvore for the last 15 years, while beloved British-born Irish country music singer Nathan Carter will also make an appearance.
Nathan released a cover of Skerryvore’s song Simple Life more than ten years ago.
Valtos, Western End, and The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Pipes and Drums will be part of the show alongside two female Scottish duos, The Laurettes and The Eves.
Skerryvore have also promised fans some extra surprises across the night, with member Daniel Gillespie telling fans: “As part of our musical journey over the past 20 years we have been very fortunate to travel the world and cross paths with so many incredible musicians along the way.
"From artists we first met in the bars and halls of the west coast of Scotland to bright new talents who are thriving in the amazing Scottish music scene, we wanted to fill the Skerryvore XX stage with host of musical pals that we know will help make it an extra special day for everyone making the journey to the castle.”
The band’s front man Alec Dalglish said: “We still can't believe that so many people are travelling from all over the world to celebrate with us so it is amazing that we can increase the capacity and welcome even more people to join the party – it's going to be a very special way to celebrate 20 years of the band."
The nearby Borders Event Centre has space for up to 300 campervans for those looking to spend the night in Kelso, and day and overnight parking will be available at the castle.
