Montrose winter music fest back with even bigger line-up
A major music event will return to Angus early next year, promising a huge line-up of artists to better last year’s programme.
Following the success of 2025’s inaugural event, Montrose Winter Music Event will return to the town on Saturday, February 27.
N-trance are best known for their iconic single Set You Free. The massive chart hit entered the UK charts on three separate occasions in the 90s, and is one of the biggest dance anthems to ever be produced.
Clubland favourite Forever reached number six in the charts and the eclectic group also had hits with their disco popular covers Stayin' Alive, D.I.S.C.O., Shake Ya Body and Da Ya Think I'm Sexy.
In the early 2000s the group had further top 10 hits with Destiny and I’m in Heaven.
Nineties pop favourites Urban Cookie Collective’s legendary single The Key, The Secret was huge in the 90s and is still played regularly across radio stations all over the world. The group also had hits with Feels Like Heaven and Sail Away, and have sold more than five million records worldwide.
The bill also features The Gerry Cinna-Man Experience. The popular tribute to Gerry Cinnamon, who is already fully booked for 2027, recently had a British tour with Live Nation.
The Complete Stone Roses have been recreating the authentic Stone Roses sound for over 25 years, and recently sold out their own Live In The Big Top show at Queen’s Park in Glasgow, attended by 4000 people. Ocean Cover Scene complete the live artists and joining them on the line-up are popular local DJs Jocky and Iain Fraser.
The event is being organised by Russell Aitchison, from Digital Love, who are behind events and festivals across Scotland.
Russell said: “Last year was brilliant day of music and we wanted to build on it with an even bigger line-up. N-Trance are a massive name, hugely in demand and almost fully booked for 2027 so to have secured them is a big coup for us. Urban Cookie Collective produced some of the biggest 90s hits and will be very popular. We’ve also really expanded our live music offering. We expect this to sell out fast.”
