The Proclaimers

On 19 December 2026, The Proclaimers roll into P&J Live, Aberdeen. Twins Craig and Charlie Reid have been shaping their blend of folk‑rock, roots and pop since 1983, first as an acoustic duo and later with a full band. Tight harmonies, straightforward songwriting and a recognisable Scottish accent anchor songs that naturally invite the audience to sing along. Expect the essentials — "Letter from America," "I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)," "Sunshine on Leith" — mixed with more recent tracks drawn from Hit the Highway, Persevere, Born Innocent, Life with You, Notes & Rhymes, Like Comedy, Angry Cyclist and Dentures Out.

On stage, the balance between stripped‑back guitars and full‑band momentum gives the set depth, lets the stories come through, allows for a few dry asides and creates space for the crowd to take up the choruses. Years of touring across the UK, North America and Australia have sharpened a performance that combines personal narratives, social observation and a touch of politics without heaviness. Everything here rests on melodies that grab you from the first listen and on two voices that answer each other with the unmistakable ease of brotherhood.
