QUIREBOYS FOUNDER SPIKE TO HEADLINE SCOTLAND’S WILDFIRE FESTIVAL ON 24th JUNE
15th June 2023The sound of Quireboys classic hits will be reverberating around the Scottish mountains on Saturday 24th June – as Wildfire Festival confirms that Quireboys founder Spike will headline this summer’s festival at Wanlockhead, Scotland.
A charismatic and captivating showman, Spike will perform his classic Quireboys hits along with songs from his solo albums. For his headline festival slot, Spike will be joined by special guest Chris Heilmann and will be raising money and awareness for ‘Care After Combat’ a charity Spike has supported over the last 12 months.
Now in its 11th year, Wildfire Festival has established a nationwide reputation for leading the way in breaking a new generation of rock and metal talent, whilst also recognising some of the genre’s greats. As well as being a festival launchpad for rising Scottish bands, the festival now attracts a loyal international audience for the annual event, hosted at Wanlockhead Scotland.
Great Music Stories Radio which sponsors the mainstage at Wildfire Festival brokered the opportunity between Spike and Wildfire, following the station’s close connection with both parties over the last decade.
Spike comments: “I’m really looking forward to headlining this fine festival, my Scottish fans have a very special place in my heart and I support the great work Wildfire Festival does for the Scottish music scene.”
Dave Ritchie, Director at Wildfire Festival adds: “Spike is one of the greats when it comes to live music and we can’t wait to welcome him to what will be a wonderful weekend of music at Wanlockhead. The highest UK festival above sea level, Wildfire will be – once again – this summer’s festival for rockers with altitude.”
Bands also featuring on the Wildfire Festival bill this year include: Rebecca Downes, Tailgunner, Marshall Potts, The Cruel Knives, Blue Nation, Theia, Tantrum, A New Tomorrow, DeadBlondeStars, We Three Kings and many more.
