Manic Street Preachers and OMD headline Linlithgow's Party at the Palace - here's the full line up

For the seventh year of the award-winning festival organisers have pulled out all the stops to secure Saturday headliners Manic Street Preachers and The Snuts, and Sunday headliners OMD and Hot Dub Time Machine.

John Richardson, Event Director says, “Party at the Palace has grown bigger every year and the organisers expect this one to the best yet. There’s been much speculation and excitement building over who will be playing and the wait is now over for PATP fans.”

The main stage line-up for Saturday 8 August will be as follows: Manic Street Preachers, The Snuts, Becky Hill, Toploader, Luke La Volpe, Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves, Stephanie Cheape, and Luna The Professor .

On Sunday 9 August the main stage line-up features OMD, Hot Dub Time Machine, The Brand New Heavies, Peat & Diesel, Space, Be Charlotte, Johnny Mac & The Faithful and Pork Pie.

Richardson adds, “We were over the moon to have been awarded Best Scottish Outdoor Event last year, beating some more famous names but it adds a little extra pressure to deliver the same level again this year. Both days are a little bit different, Saturday sees one of our biggest ever headliners take to the main stage, Manic Street Preachers, and there is a strong local supporting cast with The Snuts, Luke La Volpe and Mark Sharp and The Bicycle Thieves.

“As always, Sunday is pretty much an all-day party. Toe-tapping and head nodding to start with Brand New Heavies and Peat and Diesel, building up to a full foot-stomping, hands in the air finale with Hot Dub Time Machine and the legendary OMD.”

Each day will see gates open at 12.30pm with the first act taking to the stage at 1.30pm. The last act will go on at 8.50pm with the event finishing at 10.30pm each day.
