Best known as one half of iconic duo Goldfrapp, Alison Goldfrapp comes to the Festival to perform her debut solo album The Love Invention alongside some classic hits. As a synth-pop duo, Goldfrapp went from strength to strength – from their first album getting nominated for a Mercury Prize to receiving countless Grammy and BRIT nominations – and now Alison is making a name for herself as a solo artist.
Alison Goldfrapp is a celebrated songwriter, vocalist, producer and performer. For over 20 years, she has repeatedly set the bar high for synth-pop. Her new solo career celebrates her love of house, disco, and 'pure unadulterated fun'. Her single So Hard So Hot ‘captures glossy synths and an intense bassline, paired with a classic house beat’ (NME).

Edinburgh Playhouse
Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
