Live at Edinburgh Castle

A spectacular concert, Live at Edinburgh Castle, with a glittering array of big names will be shown on BBC One, ahead of the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Presented by The One Show’s Alex Jones on Saturday 19 July, Scotland's capital city will be welcoming a wide range of international musical acts.

They include Alfie Boe, Culture Club, Il Divo, Paloma Faith, Ella Henderson, Katherine Jenkins, Kaiser Chiefs, Jessie J, One Republic, Pumeza, Rizzle Kicks, and Smokey Robinson – with more names to follow.

The music will also be interspersed with comedy on the night, as Bill Bailey performs his unique brand of musical humour with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Fred MacAulay makes a special guest appearance.
