A brand new alternative stage has been also added, curated by The Skinny, one of Scotland’s most diverse and widely distributed music & culture must-read magazines.
A spokesperson for Electric Fields said ‘Last year, this started as a grass roots idea, and despite us increasing the capacity, we’re remaining grass roots but as we made such a healthy impression, we’re adding more artists and an awesome new stage. It’s only year 2, we have to luxury to grow and be diverse…and we cannot wait to reveal the rest of the line-up!’

Our official ticketing partner for 2015 is Ticketweb – TicketWeb is the UK’s leading ticket website for independent live music, clubs and alternative live entertainment. Established in 1999, TicketWeb began as a wholly independent venture by a small group of music fans who wanted to create a truly alternative ticket website. We knew that fans wanted an easy place to book tickets where the fees stayed low. We’ve grown a lot since then but it’s still the fan in us which shapes everything we do.
