Fans will have two chances to catch one of Scotland’s most beloved bands this month.

This year saw Deacon Blue release their new studio album - entitled The Great Western Road - and they’re currently out on a huge tour to celebrate four decades of music.

The record was released in March, 40 years after Ricky Ross met Dougie Vipond and they started the band.

Led by husband-and-wife team Ricky Ross and Lorraine McIntosh, Deacon Blue formed back in 1985 and have released 11 studio albums - including When The World Knows Your Name, which topped the UK charts.

The new songs “reflect the journey the band has taken and remain honest to the age and experience they all share”.

Their live plans kicked off with a limited run of five theatre shows earlier this year, followed by 15 huge arena shows across the UK and Ireland.

And there’s good news for Scottish fans, with the band playing the final two gigs of the tour in their home country.

Here’s everything you need to know if you’re going along.
