Forgan Arts Centre and Big Rock Records join forces for the second year to bring you an afternoon and evening of live music and family-friendly art activities in the Centre’s lush grounds.
Following the success of last year’s festival, headlined by Hamish Hawk, Lughnasadh [LOO-nah–sah] returns with an even bigger line–up featuring: Scottish Album of the Year Award winners Kathryn Joseph (2015) and Sacred Paws (2015); 2024 Mercury Prize nominee corto.alto; BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year 2025 Becky Sikasa; Glasgow electronic music pioneers Free Love; newly announced Alt-Folk-Rock band Lacuna; with Connor Liam Byrne and the Bad Kissers spreading their lipstick–stained message of rock and/or roll and the Funky Gunners DJ Collective making sure the beats go on.*
Alongside live acts, will be art activities, curated by Ruby Pester, garden tours and plenty of local food and drink.
“A luminating, startling festival” Snack Mag
Our event is a nod to the ancient festival of Lughnasadh, one of four festivals we host annually to create connections to the cycles of nature and to celebrate the turning of the Celtic wheel. Lughnasadh marks the beginning of the harvest season and celebrates the final days of summer.
