ANOTHER top headline act has been added to the exciting entertainment bill for the Tall Ships.
Popular indie band The Magic Numbers have today been announced as one of the main headline acts that will be wowing the crowds in Greenock next month.
The popular English foursome will perform on the main stage at Inchgreen on Sunday 10 July, where they will showcase some of their new songs for the first time to a packed crowd of approximately 18,000 people.
The band will also be performing classic hits including 'Forever Lost' and 'Love Me Like You'.

"We always love performing in front of a Scottish crowd and look forward to doing so with such a unique backdrop.
"We can't wait to play some of our new material to our fans."
Their addition to the bill is a major coup for the organisers of the showpiece ships event.
Ralph Leishman, vice chairman of Sail Inverclyde, said: "We are delighted to announce The Magic Numbers as the latest addition to our entertainment line up.
