Scottish superstar Susan Boyle will make her first-ever festival appearance next summer at the brand-new Summer’s End Angus, taking place 14-16 August 2026 at the Brechin Castle Showgrounds.
Susan will take to the stage on Saturday (15 Aug) as a special guest during the Red Hot Chilli Pipers’ full festival set- a unique, one-off collaboration created exclusively for Summer’s End.
This marks Susan’s first announced commercial live UK performance since before the pandemic, and a landmark moment for both the festival and Scottish audiences.
Susan Boyle said: “I’m delighted to be performing at my first ever festival, and it's right here in Scotland. I’ve been back in the studio working on some very exciting things for 2026, and I couldn’t be happier to get back out there!”
Chris Judge – Lead Singer, Red Hot Chilli Pipers- said: “Festivals with heart stand out instantly, and Summer’s End has that in spades. We’re ready to bring the Chilli heat to Angus, and sharing the stage with Susan Boyle at her first ever festival performance makes it even more meaningful!”
