A Full Day Across Several Edinburgh Venues
The festival is built around psychedelic music in a broad sense rather than one narrow style. Stereolab bring their mix of motorik rhythms, analogue textures, and pop melody, while Ty Segall sits closer to fuzz-heavy garage rock. Gwenno adds electronic and art-pop elements, and Model/Actriz push the programme into sharper post-punk territory.
The longer bill also includes Angine De Poitrine, The Belair Lip Bombs, GANS, Bleech 9:3, Dog Race, Makeshift Art Bar, Floral Image, Roller Disco Death Party, Water Machine, Tanzana, National Playboys, Sunstinger, Jill Lorean, and others. The organiser may still amend the running order or line-up.
A festival ticket gives access to the participating venues, but each room has its own capacity. Entry for individual acts is therefore handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Anyone prioritising a particular artist should arrive at that venue early rather than moving across town at the last minute.
Passes, Entry, and ID
Tickets were listed at £78.45 on 11 July 2026. Check the official festival listing for the latest line-up, venue plan, and running times. The venue also asks under-24s to carry official photo ID.
Using The Queen’s Hall as a Base
The Queen’s Hall is on Clerk Street and is well served by buses from the city centre. Because this is a multi-venue event, check the final venue map before setting out and leave realistic travel time between sets. Our Queen’s Hall Edinburgh events page has more venue information.
Festival Tips
- Choose your priority acts before the day and note which venue each one is playing.
- Arrive early for smaller-capacity rooms, as a festival ticket does not reserve a place for every set.
- Carry photo ID and keep the final timetable accessible on your phone.
