Turin Brakes

Turin Brakes will be playing on Sunday night, while Shooglenifty with Dhun Dhora will be taking to the stage on Saturday.

Also included in the line-up are The Mighty Doonans, Fisherman's Friends, the Brooks Williams Band & special guests, Rafiki Jazz and Na Leanai.

With a line-up that already includes Richard Thompson Electric Trio, Steeleye Span, Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings, Show of Hands and Gretchen Peters, festival organisers have said that the event, which attracts up to 7,000 people is going to be 'epic'.

Ticket sales are up on last year and organisers are predicting the festival, which is on August 24-27, will be a sell-out yet again.

Other acts set to appear include Usher's Island, Gigspanner, Daoirí Farrell Trio, The Fitzgeralds, Skerryvore, Rusty Shackle, Peter Knight and John Spiers, State of the Union (Boo Hewerdine and Brooks Williams), O’Hooley & Tidow, Guo Yue and Joji Hirota with members of London Taiko Drummers, Megson, Blowzabella, The Wilson Family and more.,
