See Blondie live in Edinburgh with Hotel Direct

Blondie were one of the most popular American rock bands on the 20th century, having amassed millions of fans all over the world since the release of their debut album in 1976. The group, fronted by legendary singer Debbie Harry, are still going strong today and recently delighted fans by announcing a string of UK concert dates for later this year.

One of these gigs, which can be enjoyed through the fantastic value hotel offers currently available from Hotel Direct, will be taking place at Edinburgh's Usher Hall on the 2nd July, giving fans new and old the chance to experience a mix of their classic hits and critically acclaimed later material.

Formed in New York in 1974, the outfit have always been best known for Harry's inimitable stage presence and ethereal vocals, which combined punk rock instrumentation with the smoothest of vocals and led to number one hits like 'Heart of Glass', 'Call Me' and 'The Tide Is High', as well as a string of groundbreaking albums.

A true treat for any rock fans who are planning on coming to the Scottish capital soon, tickets are still on sale for the Blondie performance, which can be attended alongside a stay at one of the many fine hotels in Edinburgh for which cheap accommodation is available from Hotel Direct.
