This spring, Aberdeen will host a spectacular fusion of world-class music and Michelin-starred dining in support of local charities through The JEllie Foundation.
The month-long celebration begins with a headline performance by chart-topping girlband Sugababes at The Chester Hotel on Friday, 7 March 2025, followed by the return of the acclaimed Signature Food Festival.
Graham Wood, co-founder of The JEllie Foundation, emphasised the event’s dual mission: “We’re thrilled to bring world-class talent to Aberdeen while supporting vital local causes. The generosity of our sponsors and guests enables us to make a real difference in our community.”
