Connect Music Festival is making its return to Edinburgh, celebrating an eclectic array of musical talent, comedy, spoken word and wellness. Taking to the stage at this years’ festival includes Primal Scream, Franz Ferdinand, boygenius, Fred Again.., Loyle Carner, MUNA, Friendly Fires and Young Fathers.

In addition to fantastic music, festival-goers can expect top-quality food featuring some of the best local traders thanks to Neighbourgood Market, along with Chef Barry Bryson back who will bring his sell-out concept menu to the Chef’s Table. For those looking for something more zen, the Rest & Be Thankful wellness programme is returning this year, offering attendees a space to rejuvenate with workshops including Soul Water Sauna, breath work, sound healing and yoga.

Makers Markets will support local and national artisans who will be showcasing beautifully unique pieces such as prints, jewellery, pottery and clothing. The festival will also be home to amazing artwork, showcasing a variety of budding artists, including street art initiative Yardworks and up-and-coming artist Trackie McLeod.

Building on the phenomenal success of the 2022 festival, Connect have made a variety of enhancements and additions to the weekend, including an expansion to the camping area, allowing festival-goers to bring their own tent, along with boutique and pre-pitched tents plus an area for live-in vehicles.
