Jonny Bongo says: “We can’t wait to return to Edinburgh and this fabulous Scottish city. Things have been going wild in Glasgow for some time now so we are going to be catching up with Edinburgh I feel very quickly. The people are amazing and we know how much they like to party, and bringing what we do to the O2 Academy is going to make for an incredible return show with lots more exciting plans to be revealed soon.”
