Following the announcement earlier this year that the DF Concerts music strand at the Edinburgh Festival would no longer be sponsored by Tennents, and therefore no longer be known as T On The Fringe, DF announced on Friday that the strand would, from this point onwards, be known as The Edge. So, take note. Despite the new name, the music programme will follow a similar format to past years, with a range of gigs of different level artists at the city's Cabaret Voltaire, the Liquid Room and the Corn Exchange venues.
Confirming the new name, DF's Dave Corbet told CMU: "I'm really looking forward to bringing some of the hottest talent from around the globe to a truly international audience once again as part of the Edinburgh festivals. Over the last eight years T on the Fringe became one of the biggest selling events of the festival and one of Scotland's most popular music festivals and we are confident that this popularity will continue with The Edge. In 2008 there will be no outdoor shows due to the types of artists available this year but we will be putting on more gigs than ever at venues such as the Corn Exchange and Cabaret Voltaire".
A line up will be unveiled in June.
