    Serious question though because I don't know the answer - Aside from DF, is there another promoter with enough of a presence in Scotland and enough clout to even try a festival of that scale given how much of a financial risk it is and how much event management experience would be needed going in?

    Yes.  But why repeat the exercise of others and risk it when one-dayers are best for larger scale music events, or a series of gigs like Regular's Summer Night.  TRNSMT is perfect for Glasgow as a non-camping 3-dayer.  I know it's unpopular to say, but for its target audience, on the day, it is a good line-up.  It does nothing for me, but I'm not that audience.  

  2. New outdoor one-dayer taking place within the grounds of Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire (SW Scotland) filled with emerging Scottish music - Electric Fields.

  3. Just in case anybody was wondering why Wickerman's not in any of the categories...

    From The Wickerman Festival website:

    Festival Awards 2010

    In previous years the Wickerman has benefited from huge public support which has seen us pick up a Grass Roots gong and make many shortlists at the annual Festival Awards. For 2010 we are concentrating our efforts at this time on our links with the forthcoming Lake of Stars festival in Malawi and are also discussing a variety of ideas to mark the Wickerman's 10th anniversary.

    Last but by no means least we are also gearing for the 2011 ticket sale launch where a very special offer awaits every 10th ticket buyer.

    Tickets for the 2011 Wickerman go on sale at Halloween so keep checking back for details of our very special offer.

  5. Hi Treacle. Solus is shaping up very very nicely, thank you for asking. Yeah, the rumour about the site moving, it happens every year. There's always some good rumours floating about. People only need to look at the festival website to see that the location is exactly the same as ever.

    Ta,

    C.
