Originally formed in the early 1980s, The Farm released their first single Hearts and Minds in 1984, which was produced by Graham ‘Suggs’ McPherson, lead vocalist of Madness.

They then went on to have phenomenal success with their Spartacus’ album, which was also produced by Suggs, and reached number one in the UK album chart in 1991.

The band took a break in 1995 and reformed in 2010 and are now regulars on the summer festival circuit.

Lead vocalist of The Farm, Peter Hooton, said: “We’re really looking forward to performing in Falkirk, and are delighted to be supporting Madness. We love performing live and have some great classics plus new material for the thousands of fans coming to the show to enjoy.”
