The Big Nineties Festival Edinburgh 2019: date, line-up, set times, tickets and prohibited items

The nineties was the era when pop and dance music took centre stage in the world of music, with girl and boy bands dominating the charts.

It was the decade which saw the likes of the Spice Girls rack up nine number one hits, while artists including Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and Westlife made their lasting mark on the world.
