Rianne Downey began her music career busking on the streets of Glasgow, but it was during lockdown that she started turning heads with a series of YouTube covers, featuring a standout rendition of The Beautiful South’s Rotterdam. This caught the attention of the band’s former frontman, Paul Heaton, who handpicked Downey to join him on his recent tour, which included a performance on the iconic Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury earlier this year. 

 

Texas are a Scottish rock band from Glasgow, fronted by the iconic Sharleen Spiteri. The band are known for their blend of pop rock, soul, and alternative music. Following their critically acclaimed, sold-out UK arena tour, they will bring their crowd-pleasing live show to Llangollen, spanning five decades of music - from their timeless classic I Don’t Want A Lover to modern hits like Mr. Haze and Keep On Talking.

The announcement is the latest reveal for summer 2025 which will also see The Human League, James, Rag’n’Bone Man, Olly Murs, Texas, The Script and UB40 featuring Ali Campbell headline the iconic Welsh venue. 

 

The headline concerts are presented in a partnership between Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor and Llangollen International Eisteddfod. 

 

Artistic Director of the Llangollen International Eisteddfod Dave Danford said: “We’re delighted to be adding some more Scottish energy to next summer’s line-up, with the announcement that Rianne Downey will be supporting Texas. 

 

“She was a revelation when she performed alongside Paul Heaton at Glastonbury earlier this year, and we can’t wait to hear her solo set in Llangollen!”
