The line up for Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations have been announced, and the Pet Shop Boys will headline. On their involvement in the New Year mini-festival, Neil Tennant told reporters: "It's great to be invited to play the party of the year in Edinburgh and we are really looking forward to putting on a memorable show."
Up and coming Scots soul singer Paolo Nutini will also star. Confirming his booking, he told reporters: "I'm over the moon to be asked to play at the Hogmanay festivities. It's a thrill to be playing at home on the most special night of the year. I hope that we can really pull out all the stops and make sure the crowd has a roaring good night."
