Those that remember the song will know the standout clip that accompanied it, featuring Kate dancing in a statement red dress. On July 30, this will be copied by the group, with the gathering taking place on the grass next to Arthur's Seat, and is set to be quite the spectacle.

All dressed in red, the tradition was started by Shambushm a British performance group that attempted the event in 2013, with the idea catching on worldwide.
