Deacon Blues live in Lochgelly

Experience Deacon Blues live on August 22nd

Deacon Blues performs a widely recognised tribute to the music of Steely Dan, focusing on faithfully recreating the complex arrangements and sophisticated jazz-rock sound of the original band. Their performances typically feature intricate instrumentation and vocal harmonies characteristic of Steely Dan’s recordings.

The concert is scheduled to take place at Lochore Meadows Country Park, located near Lochgelly in Fife, Scotland, on August 22nd, 2026. Lochore Meadows is a significant outdoor recreation space developed on the site of a former coal mine. Extensive land reclamation work transformed the area, including the creation of a loch formed by water filling the open cast mine.

The park offers walking and cycling trails around the loch, alongside various watersports facilities. Historically, coal mining dominated the local economy from the 19th century until the closure of the Lochore Colliery in 1966. The subsequent development into a country park aimed to provide leisure opportunities and regenerate the landscape following industrial activity. The park is managed by Fife Council and aims to balance recreational use with environmental conservation efforts.
