More about: Connect Festival

Wait… is this maybe one of the best festival lineups around this year? Announcing their first 2023 names, Connect Festival in the Scottish Highland Showgrounds already has incredible cross-genre line up of some of the most sought after artists around at the moment.

Immediately we’re hooked in as Boygenius bag a line up slot; one of their few appearances in the UK this year. Alongside them, Primal Scream, Fred Again and Loyle Carner top the bill. But the quality doesn’t stop there. Raye, MUNA, Confidence Man, Future Island and Young Fathers also sit pretty at the top of the lineup.

But what makes Connect really stand out is the inclusion of the best of the best in upcoming talent. Including 23 for 2023 names Biig Piig and TAAHLIAH, as well as major ones to watch Leith Ross, Katie Gregson-MacLeod, Panic Shack, Terra Kin, Wunderhorse and more - you don’t want to miss them.

Totally different to the same-old lineups we’re already bored of seeing, Connect seems to be offering an antidote to a dull festival season and we’re excited about it.
