THE Proclaimers are returning to the Borders in June as part of their ‘Angry Cyclist’ tour.

The brothers from Edinburgh have announced a string of Scottish dates next summer, including at Annay Road rugby field in Melrose.

Craig and Charlie Reid last played the region in 2015 at Kelso Tait Hall and tickets go on sale on Friday for their latest Borders date.

The pair have also confirmed they will perform at Inverness Bught Park, Edinburgh Castle and Glasgow SSE Hydro.

Charlie said: “We are looking forward immensely to coming home during the summer for four major Scottish shows. The atmosphere in Scotland is unique and the whole band looks forward to the concerts.

“It's our first major show in the Borders for several years, great to be returning to Bught Park and the Highlands audience, our first show back in the Castle for many years and also going back to the Hydro and closing our Angry Cyclist world tour with the final show in Glasgow.”

The album ‘Angry Cyclist’ was released in August, debuting in the UK Official Album charts at 17 and at number three in the UK Official Independent Album Charts.

The pair have since been performing their 48-date UK tour and 13-date tour of Canada.

Mark Mackie, director of promoters Regular Music said: “It's great news that The Proclaimers are coming out next summer, covering the country from north to south and east to west with these four very special shows for Scotland.”

Tickets for the concert on Saturday, June 15, go on general sale on Friday, November 23 at 9am. Visit www.ticketmaster.co.uk or call 0844 844 0444.
