The Proclaimers

On 6 November 2026 at De Montfort Hall in Leicester, The Proclaimers return as the twin engine of Craig and Charlie Reid, blending folk-rock, roots and pop with a punk edge. From early days as an acoustic duo to a fuller band sound, their live set leans on tight harmonies, plainspoken writing and that distinct Scottish lilt that shapes their storytelling.

The show rolls between stripped-back strums and band-fuelled momentum, where personal tales meet social observation. Expect staple singalongs like Letter from America, I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) and Sunshine on Leith, alongside newer cuts from Angry Cyclist and Dentures Out. The balance is simple and effective: familiar choruses, fresh material, and lyrics that stick because they go straight to the point.

What stands out is the connection of two voices that have always moved together, trading lines and lifting refrains without fuss. No theatrics, just songs that carry, rhythms that travel, and a set shaped for a room ready to sing it back.
