THE likes of Ocean Colour Scene or the Human League may well draw the biggest crowds of the weekend at Party at the Palace, but the next huge star could be performing across the three stages… awaiting curious eyes and ears.
West Lothian acts Luke La Volpe and Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves will be on the list of most heading along on August 13-14, as will The Silencers, From the Jam, Del Amitri, Sophie-Ellis Bextor.
But a quick scout around and there is real emerging talent on offer at Linlithgow.

One who is sure to get the crowd going on the Sunday afternoon.
Echo Machine

Another Dundee act to hit the Sunday stage, and one well worth catching.
They have followed up on the 2020 release of their Instant Transmissions album with the single Universal Background Music.
"A loud pop group" sure to keep the tempo.
False Friends
False Friends also play PATP this August
Far too little is said about this five-piece.
With their Northern Irish roots, the band are a welcome addition to the Glasgow music scene.
Their 2019 EP A Great Day for the Parish did not get the recognition it deserved and their follow-up singles since have been on form.
A band not to be missed on the Saturday.
