Is there no "doon the green" or "burnside bash" this year?

Hi howlsatthemoon

The line-up details are for the ticketed concerts and workshops only.

"Doon the Green" will be on as usual, we just don't have the final line-up for it yet. This year it should be extended to run until after 5pm, we planned to do this last year but the weather got in the way of that!!!

The Burnside Bash did not happen last year as the decision was made to concentrate on the extended "Doon the Green" and it will be the same again this year.

All the other usual events such as the Young Folk Night, the Grand Parade, Festival Club, pub sessions and heritage tours will go ahead as usual.

Iain

When do the tickets go on sale?

Hi JenniferG

They should go on sale at the end of June, it is usually the last Thursday of the month.

We will post up the exact date as soon as we finalise the arrangements with Ticketweb.
