Rewind Festival: Latest Scone Palace forecast as rain set to hit 80s event

Thousands of music fans will descend on the Perthshire venue this weekend.

Revellers heading to Rewind Festival at Scone Palace may need to don their ponchos along with their neon and lycra with the event set to be hit with some rain.

Described as “the world’s biggest 80s festival”, the event is back for its 11th year at the Perthshire venue this weekend.

Thousands of people will descend on the site between Friday and Sunday, with many of them camping.

The Met Office predicts conditions should stay largely dry for those arriving at Rewind on Friday night.

It is set to be mainly cloud with highs of 18°C.

However, there may be the odd shower in the evening.

Saturday weather forecast

The first day at Rewind will be largely overcast with periods of light rain throughout the day.

The conditions will be at their wettest in the afternoon and evening, in time for Bell’s headline slot.

Temperatures will reach a high of 15°C.

Sunday weather forecast for Scone Palace

An initial forecast for Sunday suggested fans would enjoy drier conditions.

Forecasters say there could be periods of heavy rain early in the morning, around lunchtime and later at night.

Once again, temperatures should hit 15°C for those at Scone Palace.

The wet conditions will be nothing new for those who went to last year’s Rewind to see acts like the aptly-named Wet Wet Wet and Holly Johnson.
