DAYS Festival offers alternative electronic music by the sea in Edinburgh

Joined by Erol Alkan, Or:la, Leon Vynehall, Bubble Love, and more, the music and arts festival comes to The Pitt Market in September.

Date published: 23rd Jul 2025

DAYS, a music and arts festival, comes to The Pitt Market, a street food market by the sea, in Edinburgh on Saturday 27th September 2025, and the team behind it have just announced the first phase of the lineup…

Relatively new to the scene, DAYS returns for its third edition after its last in May and its debut in September 2024. 

At DAYS, you’ll find indoor and outdoor stages, a food market, a respectful and fun-loving community, merch, and of course eleven hours of dancing. 

Among the artists just announced is Erol Alkan, who brings sounds spanning electro, techno and indie roots. Then there’s Leon Vynehall, a cutting-edge DJ and producer in the UK’s underground scene. Or:la, a selector known for raw percussive flair and a fearless approach, joins them, as does Ross From Friends presenting Bubble Love, bringing sample-heavy club fun. 

That’s all on the lineup for now, but we also know a "super special guest" will be joining them, a guest who has been involved in some of the most influential underground music of the last 20 years. Loads more local talent will be announced too.

A collaboration between RARE and Sneaky Pete's, two Scottish institutions, it’s set to be a highlight and might be the perfect way to see out festival season 2025. 

Tickets for DAYS Festival go on sale on Friday (25th July) at 10am. If you want in on this celebration of alternative electronic sounds, sign up for tickets now towards the bottom of this page.
