WATCH: Drive-thru concerts coming to Edinburgh

Socially-distanced, drive-thru concerts will be held at Edinburgh's Royal Highland Centre this summer.

It's one of twelve sites across the UK set to host the events from mid-July.

Sigala, Gary Numan and Tony Hadley are all expected to perform.

There'll be space for around three hundred cars.

Peter Taylor, Live Nation Promoter, comments: "We are excited to bring Utilita Live From The Drive-In to fans across the U.K.

This outdoor concert series was created as a way to re-imagine the live music experience during a time of social distancing by allowing fans to enjoy concerts in the safest way possible.

"Each event will comply with all official Government guidelines in order to protect fans, artists, crews and staff. We look forward to announcing some of the biggest names across UK music and bringing these fantastic artists to a city near you."

Live Nation Entertainment has launched the family friendly Utilita Live From The Drive-In series to bring live music, theatre and comedy back into our lives.

Running from mid-July until September, Utilita Live From The Drive-In is the UK’s biggest drive-in concert series and it will visit venues in Birmingham, Bolton, Bristol, Cheltenham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Lincoln, Liverpool, London, Milton Keynes, Newmarket and Teesside.

Each artist will perform live on stage and will be flanked by a full concert production complete with a state-of-the-art sound system, lighting rig and high definition LED screens.

Although the experience will have many parallels to stadium concerts, Utilita Live From The Drive-In events will also be relatively intimate with space for around 300 vehicles.

Fans will be able to enjoy the show from the comfort and safety of their own designated area, with each car appropriately distanced from one another.

Alongside the variety of live music delights, Utilita Live From The Drive-In will also boast West End theatre performances, comedy extravaganzas and a variety of family experiences suitable for kids of all ages, including interactive science shows, fun live music, DJs and famous faces from children’s television.

Event timings will vary from venue-to-venue, and there will be morning, afternoon, early evening and late evening performances, depending on the artist and productions.

Certain events will run twice on the same day.
