Skipinnish
FeaturedFestival Marquee Hawkcraig Road, Aberdour, Fife, UKAfter an epic debut at the Aberdour Festival in 2023, Skipinnish cannot wait to return this year! They will be supported by Cloud House.
Since Skipinnish hit the Scottish music scene in 1999, their rise has been an inspiring tale of a tiny acorn becoming a mighty oak! From pub gigs and ceilidhs in the beginning, their mix of anthemic songs and powering melody has seen them fill the biggest and best venues in the country. In 2024 they celebrated their 25th birthday with a televised concert at Edinburgh Castle, playing to over 8000 fans and in September 2025 they headlined Scotland’s biggest arena with a show at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.
In 2024 the band won “Event of the Year” at the Scottish Trad Music Awards for their Edinburgh Castle concert and in 2025 they received the prestigious Sound of Scotland Award at the Nordoff and Robin Scottish Music Awards.
Skipinnish has constantly evolved and grown over the years and 2026 will see some exciting additions and changes as they continue to give audiences the euphoric joy that their music brings to a wonderful and ever-growing fanbase.
Skipinnish are buzzing to bring Walking on the Waves, The Island, Alive, Last of the Hunters, The Hag and all other Skipinnish favourites and some exciting new songs and tunes to the Festival and many other concerts across the country in 2026 and beyond!
Cloud House continue to grow their reputation as an exciting, festival-ready indie rock band. The Glasgow five-piece have earned comparisons to Sam Fender and The 1975 with their catchy, heartbreakingly honest songs, laden with guitar hooks and saxophone melodies. Described as "rising, rousing indie rock" by The Clash Magazine, they have been selected as BBC Scotland’s Track of the Week a record three times. 2025 saw the band play memorable sets at Heartland Festival, The Sound of Iona Music Festival, and their first Tenement Trail, before capping the year off with a headline show at Glasgow's Drygate Brewery.
