After selling out a string of dates as it tours the UK, Scotland’s Parking Lot Social has announced that it is adding a second drive in drag show to its Edinburgh dates, with tickets now available for both Friday May 21 and Saturday May 22.
Stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK will be taking to the stage at Dalkeith Country Park later this month, promising unmissable live comedy, entertainment and runway worthy looks. Hosted by Whiplash, lineups over the weekend include UK Drag Race alumna The Vivienne (season one winner), Baga Chipz, Ellie Diamond and Cheryl Hole.
Josh Kinnersley, Chief Operating Officer at XL Event Lab, said: “Drag Race fever has swept the nation, and we’re delighted to welcome some of the TV show’s most talented stars to join us for the UK’s first ever drive-in drag show.
“We’ve seen a real appetite from the public for all of our Edinburgh events, and we’ve added an additional DriveTime Drag show to meet demand. Our drag queens have loved getting back in front of a live audience and have plenty of surprises in store, so we’d urge everyone to get their tickets now to avoid disappointment.”
As well as the drag shows, drive in tickets are also on sale for a host of other live entertainment. Legendary party night The Big Weekender takes place on May 21, live spring panto The Wizard of Oz is May 22 and there’s two chances to catch the interactive family fun of Social Kids, taking place on both May 22 and 23. Classic films will play over the three days too.
Audiences will be entertained in their cars from a vast custom made stage. Shows are broadcast across two 60ft screens and audio is transmitted from the stage directly to each vehicle through a dedicated FM radio channel. Food comes from street food masters The Big Feed with orders made online and delivered straight to each car.
