Hogmanay goes online

Organisers of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay have announced that key elements of the flagship event will be streamed live online for the first time.

The pilot project will feature exclusive tracks from Scottish headliners Primal Scream and Friendly Fires, the spectacular midnight fireworks from Edinburgh Castle and the world’s largest Auld Lang Syne. It is hoped that viewers from around the world will register for one of the 20,000 limited spaces and tune in.
