Set to ring in 2020 in Scotland’s capital, Ronson’s appointment marks the first time a DJ has headlined the event, with the press release confirming the DJ will “host a massive party” to celebrate the next decade.

Charlie Wood and Ed Bartlam, directors of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, said “In our third year producing Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, we’re bringing one of the biggest DJs in the world to Edinburgh to throw one almighty party. Mark is a multi-award-winning producer and DJ whose music has been the soundtrack to this decade, there is simply no one in the world better to play out the last hours of 2019 and bring in 2020.”

With Mark Ronson as our headliner, this promises to be one of our finest celebrations yet. With his impressive back catalogue and current chart toppers what better way to say goodbye to 2019, bring in the bells and herald in the new decade.”
