Glasgow residents’ entertainment schedule just shifted up a gear - The Parking Lot Social is back – and this time it’s bigger than ever. With tickets on sale now, The Parking Lot Social Springtime drive-in extravaganza will be rolling into the Albion Car Park at Ibrox Stadium from 26-31 May. 2021’s tour brings with it a selection of familiar favourites alongside some amazing new additions, including Scotland exclusive Scary Movie sessions featuring live scare actors at midnight on each date.
Brand new for this year is The Parking Lot Social Easter Panto. The traditional theatre production has had a seasonal makeover – with cast members putting on a special performance of The Wizard of Oz, uniquely tailored to the drive-in format.
Sashaying onto the stage for 2021, the stars of RuPauls Drag Race UK will also be entertaining adults. Fans of the cult show can expect iconic performances from coveted cast members, including season one alumni Baga Chipz, Divina De Campo, Vinegar Strokes and Gothy Kendoll, with current season two queens Ginny Lemon, Ellie Diamond and Tayce also confirmed.
A host of drive-in movies for all ages are also on offer, as well as the hugely popular Social Kids event. Families can safely get together to enjoy the interactive showcase with an afternoon of quizzes, Car-a-oke, games and even a silent disco. For a drive-in laughs, the Parking LOL Comedy Night is once again back on the road, with some of the UK’s finest comedians to be announced.
John Kinnersley, Chief Operating Officer at XL Event Lab, the company behind the event, said: “As we know the arts, including drag performances and theatre productions, have been heavily impacted due to the coronavirus pandemic, and we’re proud to give these talented entertainers the opportunity to perform to a live audience again.
“Our debut summer tour was a huge success last year, and we’re keen to keep up momentum and continue to deliver first class events which are not only enjoyable, but completely Covid-19 friendly. Every detail of our drive-in tour – from entering the site to parking up and ordering food – has been designed with customer and staff safety front of mind, with ticket holders able to enjoy the experience with complete piece of mind.”
Attendees will be entertained in their cars from a vast custom made stage, with shows broadcast across two 60ft LED screens. Using the best technology, audio will be transmitted from the stage directly to each vehicle through a dedicated FM radio channel.
Safety is at the heart of the event and audiences take part in the immersive, interactive shows from their own cars. It’s a completely contactless event ensuring a safe and socially distant experience. Organisers set up strict cleaning and distancing rules for the most recent UK winter events and plans in place for spring will all be in accordance with local government guidelines.
Tickets for The Parking Lot Springtime Drive-in Festival in Glasgow are on sale now, along with the following UK locations: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Liverpool, Coventry, Manchester, Cheltenham, Bristol and Newcastle. Additional Scottish dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
