Making his Scottish festival debut and his third show in Scotland, Fred again.. will be headlining the main stage on Saturday. Hot on the heels of a sold out show at Madison Square Gardens and a hugely praised Boiler Room and Tiny Desk Concert, Fred’s set is hugely anticipated by fans and is a must-see if you haven’t heard his impeccably produced electronic hits. Just like Fred’s rise to fame, there are many more acts making their festival debut, creating an unforgettable experience for festival-goers this summer.

Hailing from Ireland, Biig Piig is rising to fame in a similar way to Arlo Parks. She’ll take to the stage on Saturday, making waves with her genre defying blend of hip-hop, jazz, and R&B. Her honest lyrics have gained her a fast-growing following, making her one of the most anticipated acts at the festival.

^TAAHLIAH

TAAHLIAH is fast becoming one of the biggest names in the UK’s electronic music scene. The Glasgow DJ will bring her powerful stage presence and floor fillers that are bound to leave a lasting impression on festival-goers this summer. 

^boygenius

On Sunday, boygenius, the indie supergroup composed of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus, will be playing one of their debut UK shows.

^{Public Service Broadcasting}

If you like Fred again.., you’ll love Public Service Broadcasting. On the closing day of the festival, the innovative group will take to the stage, weaving together samples from old public information films, archive footage, and propaganda with live instrumentation.
