‘We all know Ayr Beach can be a wee bit windy, so the new big top means we’re covered whatever the weather.
‘From a DJ’s point of view, it’s a total game-changer with better sound, better atmosphere, and for the first time ever, we’ll be able to fire up the lasers. It’s going to be pure magic, and I can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working so hard on for this year.’
Kicking things off on 2 May, Ayr Beach Live is a nostalgia-fuelled celebration, headlined by James and featuring Starsailor, VISTAS, and Swim School and rising Scottish and local talent across the day.
