Scotland’s multi-platinum pop/rockers, Deacon Blue will be taking to the iconic Dreamland stage on Friday 28th June as part of their 2024 Summer Series with special guests The Bluetones.
Taking their name from a Steely Dan song, Deacon Blue emerged from the aftermath of the post-punk era to hit the mainstream during the mid-’80s, and after five years away during the ’90s, they returned in the 21st century. Their clean, euphoric sound winds the lead vocals of husband-and-wife team Ricky Ross and Lorraine McIntosh across infectious hooks and sweeping melodies in a sophisticated meld of rock, pop, jazz, blues, Celtic soul, and folk music. Thirty-five years since their debut single, ‘Dignity’ – and their debut album, Raintown – Deacon Blue announced in 2023 their most comprehensive greatest hits anthology to date ‘All The Old 45s – The Very Best of Deacon Blue’.
