Lughnasadh Music & Arts Festival
Forgan Arts Centre and Big Rock Records join forces to bring you a new music and arts festival in the centre’s lush grounds and gardens on Saturday 3rd August.
About Lughnasadh Music & Arts Festival
Join us in Newport-on-Tay for an afternoon and evening of art and live acts that represent the depth and breadth of Scottish talent.
The line-up is headlined by Edinburgh’s rising star Hamish Hawk, whose new album, A Firmer Hand, is released this summer. Paragons of Glasgow’s DIY scene Free Love join Hamish, as well as Dundee’s own Theo Bleak and Jutebox. More musicians and artists will be announced in the coming weeks.
Music is selected by Newport-on-Tay’s own Big Rock Records and complemented with art interventions curated by Hanifah Sogbanmu.
