The Boomtown Rats to play at Rockore in Fife this weekend

The Boomtown Rats are going to be playing at a music festival in Fife this weekend alongside a star-studded lineup.

Iconic band 'The Boomtown Rats' will headline Scotland’s Rockore Festival on Saturday 19th August ’23 at Lochore Meadows Country Park in Fife.

The Boomtown Rats are original Rats - Bob Geldof on vocals, Pete Briquette on bass, and Simon Crowe on drums - with the addition of Alan Dunn on piano and Darren Beale on guitar.

Scotland was the first country outside of Ireland to take The Boomtown Rats to their hearts.

“Long before England copped on to this band, the boys and girls of Scotland kept us going until we’d gone all the way. We’re looking forward to bringing a little slice of Boomtown to the burgers of Fife. See you in August" says Bob Geldof

The Rockore Festival is in its fifth year and has sold out every year since its inception. Previous headliners include Nazareth, Altered Images, and Wet Wet Wet. 

Fans wanting to catch the band will be able to see them this weekend at the event sponsored by Edge Radio's good friends at Cartmore Building Supplies.
