It will celebrate Perth Theatre and Concert Hall's 125th anniversary over two nights from 6pm on Saturday September 6 and Sunday, September 7 at the concert hall plaza and theatre courtyard, Mill Street.

Among the roster of 125 Live! street party entertainment are Perth indie band Parliamo and Perthshire piper Ross Ainslie with The Sanctuary Band.

Glasgow Glam-pop band Walt Disco will also lead the line-up.

Further acts performing on the 125 Live! music stage include Skye trad and electronic duo Valtos and singer-songwriter and DJ Jack David.

Perth Theatre and Concert Hall director Christopher Glasgow said: “The perfect microcosm of all that we present in our venues from classical, trad and contemporary music, musical theatre, plus local and community groups, 125 Live! is the ideal opener for another autumn season packed with entertainment the whole family can enjoy.

“So many people have come up to me since the announcement of the 125 Live! headliners to share their excitement about what will be a truly unique event for Perth.

“It’s such a coup to have Walt Disco leading the line-up.

“They're currently selling out venues across the US, so we're lucky to have signed them up for our anniversary street party.”

The party will also feature big band That Swing Sensation, local chamber choir Chansons, musical theatre stars Hannah Howie and Matthew Tomlinson and students from the UHI Perth Musical Theatre course.
