The tour also includes other major UK major music venues such as the HMV Picture House in Edinburgh, the Hammersmith Apollo in London, as well as in Belfast, Bristol, Birmingham and Leeds.
Delirious? have had seven top 40 singles and two top 20 albums. Best known for ground-breaking music such as ‘Live and in the Can’ (1996), the tour set will feature many of their greatest hits, as well as tracks from their recently-released live album ‘My Soul Sings’, which was recorded in Bogota, Columbia last year in front of 12,000 fans.
Formed in the early 1990s, Delirious?'s line-up includes Martin on lead guitar and vocals, Jon on bass and Evans on drums.
Delirious, together with other bands L27, Hillsong London and The Listening, have signed up to play at the free Highland Festival with Luis Palau, which takes place at Bught Park, Inverness on 19 and 20 June 2009.
To round both evenings off, leading international evangelist Luis Palau will share a positive Christian message with an expected audience of over 10,000 people.
The Festival is supported by well over 100 churches, representing more than half of the places of worship in the Highlands. They represent denominations including the Church of Scotland, the Associated Presbyterian Church, the Scottish Episcopal Church, Baptists, Methodists, The Salvation Army and many others. Lord James Mackay of Clashfern is chairman of the organising committee.
Kevin Palau, executive vice president of the Luis Palau Association, commented, “We are delighted that Delirious?, one of the few British Christian bands which has managed to cross over into the mainstream music scene, has chosen to appear at the Festival as part of their farewell tour.
“We are sure that their music, as well as that from L27, Hillsong London and The Listening, will prove exceptionally popular with the young and not-so-young people of Inverness and the surrounding area. We are therefore confident that Bught Park will be bulging with music fans in late June.”
