Never mind the weather, final acts announced for independent indoor music festival, Physical tickets on sale and an exciting partnership with MILK Glasgow.
We have news from the lovely people organising the Thistly Fest at Belhaven Fruit Farm just outside Dunbar featuring Meursault, Withered Hand and Bwani Junction (among others!). The Festival takes place on 28 July 2012.
“Due to constraints out with our control we have had to cut the number of acoustic acts selected from our Soundcloud competition from four to two. This is something we are all pretty gutted about as we had so many strong entrants, however we are very excited to announce that the two acts selected to open the festival are Cafe Disco and Yaya Club. We felt that both of these acts provided really strong entries and fitted in excellently with the Thistly Fest ethos.
As of this week physical tickets are now on sale across Edinburgh and East Lothian. Potential Thistly Fest attendees can now buy their tickets, priced at £28, from both Ripping Records and Tickets Scotland in central Edinburgh or Cornelius Beer and Wine on Easter Road Edinburgh. In East Lothian tickets are now available at The Waterside in Haddington and the Old Club House in North Berwick. Tickets will also be available on the gate also priced at £28.
Finally, we would like to announce the involvement of Glasgow live music club night MILK with Thistly Fest. On the day the team from MILK will be arranging a series of acoustic sets from our acts at different locations all over the festival site. More information will be provided nearer the time but this is something we are really excited about and knowing what the MILK team do on their own turf is sure to be an excellent addition to the day.”
There will be a festival bus service running from central Edinburgh to the Dunbar site priced at £10 return, however numbers will be limited therefore seats must be booked in advance. This can again be done atthistlyfest.eventbrite.co.uk
