Kicking off on Friday 24th September, the likes of FJAAK, Helena Hauff and Jayda G will step up for performances, alongside some of the best global and more local talent in the form of KI/KI, Carlton Doom, Or:la, object blue, Brame + Hamo, Holly Lester and Bobby Analog. On Saturday, revered live artist & producer KiNK will perform at AVA, with Sunil Sharpe, Carista and Hammer also locked for sets throughout the day.

Both Friday and Saturday will also end with afterparties at Thompsons, with Glaswegian legends Optimo, Sally C B2B Cromby and Moodtrax among the DJs confirmed to keep the party going, before Sunday’s post-festival session soundtracked by the likes of Cáit, Matheson, Away From Dave, EMA and Pony M.
