"There is comedy from Jojo Sutherland, Vladimir McTavish and Connor Burns (pre-warning, the comedy does contain some strong language, not suitable for younger ears).

“We have some amazing music from ili, KOOLKID, local singers and songwriters Cody Feechan, JULIA and RAAB as well as an act from The X Factor and a guy who has written songs for South Korean boy band BTS. We also have some amazing performances from Divine Kaos, Ivy Adamas, Ambyglam and Ariella Skye.

The online festival comes after Kirkcaldy’s Kings Theatre Trust was handed a major funding boost with £87,000 to help support its work to re-open the town’s former ABC Cinema earlier this month.

The money came from the first stream of funding announced by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) to over 40 organisations.

It aims to help them carry out repairs and make adaptations to facilitate social distancing.

The mothballed cinema is part of the ambitious Kings Theatre project which sits at the heart of the blueprint to transform the fortunes of Kirkcaldy’s town centre.

While it is a long-term project, it already had the Kings Live Lounge on the Esplanade up and running before lockdown, and facilities at the 262 High Street hub adjacent to the cinema entrance.
