Connect - When:
Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd September (+ camp from Friday to Monday)
 
Where:
Grounds of Inveraray Castle, Inveraray, Argyll, Scotland (just 90 mins north west of Glasgow)

Disembark your flight or train and join one of the network of festival shuttles buses (to your destination, Glasgow is just 90 minutes, Edinburgh is 150 minutes)… wind your way along the west road of Loch Lomond leaving it far behind as you swing left at Tarbet. Head up past Loch Long before following in the footsteps of the generations who've gone before you... your MP3 might be blaring out but you're not singing yet, left speechless by the truly breathtaking scenery that's put Scotland on the international destination map.

Join your comrades as you stop to admire the foreboding and beautiful view at the Rest And Be Thankful...swallow in the clear air of history off the hillsides before relaxing for lunch at the delectable Loch Fyne Oyster Bar… then it’s festival butterflies as you sweep down into the town of Inveraray... dominated by the truly spectacular view of your final destination… the 18th Century Inveraray Castle and Scotland’s longest sea loch, Loch Fyne. The electronica and guitar sounds of the stages resonate across the Castle grounds as your inaugural Connect experience evolves, continuing until night time… wander back to your tent through the mystical woodland of the estate or hop on to one of the shuttle buses back home. The next morning the sleepy campsite awakens...you emerge from your tee pees and pods, tasting the crisp clean air of the Highlands, as the anticipation of the weekend's atmosphere builds again…together you have Connected.

The line-up...so far:
Beastie Boys, Bjork, Primal Scream, Jesus and Mary Chain, CSS, LCD Soundsystem, Idlewild, Tilly And The Wall, The Only Ones...
