Unique collaboration help to launch new Angus festival
Scottish superstar Susan Boyle will make her first-ever festival appearance next summer at the brand-new Summer’s End Angus, which will take place at the Brechin Castle Showgrounds next August.
Susan will take to the stage on Saturday, August 15, as a special guest during the Red Hot Chilli Pipers’ full festival set - a unique, one-off collaboration created exclusively for the event.
Susan said: “I’m delighted to be performing at my first ever festival, and it's right here in Scotland. I’ve been back in the studio working on some very exciting things for 2026, and I couldn’t be happier to get back out there!”
Chris Judge, lead Singer with the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, said: “We’re ready to bring the Chilli heat to Angus, and sharing the stage with Susan Boyle at her first ever festival performance makes it even more meaningful!”
Summer’s End Angus will bring more than 40 artists to the county across a feel-good and family-friendly weekend of pop, dance, Scottish talent and family programming.
Also announced so far are: The Jacksons – global icons closing Sunday; Bonnie Tyler – bringing her legendary catalogue; Skerryvore; Tide Lines; Judge Jules Live Band; The Entitled Sons; NATI; GBX; a dedicated female-led Sunday stage
Dozens of breakthrough Scottish acts and local performers, Saturday’s headliners plus five additional major acts, will be announced in January.
