DUNFERMLINE LIVE
The Dunfermline Live music festival is set to rock Scotland's ancient capital after attracting what organisers say is its best line-up yet.
On Saturday 18th October the town will be buzzing as music fans from all over the UK arrive for a feast of entertainment.
There is a mixture of established festival favourites such as headliners Embrace, King Creosote, Eugene McGuinness, Hector Bizerk, Dexters and AMWF alongside the cream of the country's fast-emerging talent such as The Merrylees, Vigo Thieves, Scary People, Neon Waltz, Modern Faces and The Moon Kids. The organisers have high hopes to build Dunfermline Live into one of Scotland's top music festivals and have made a promising start over the past two years when Shed Seven and Big Country were the headliners. This year the event has been pared down from three days to just one with the emphasis on attracting a packed schedule of quality indie acts playing at six venues all within easy walking distance of each other. Tickets are £20 and allow to music fans wander from bar to bar enjoying their favourites and they are guaranteed entry to headliners Embrace.
Frontman Danny McNamara believes that Scottish music fans are the noisiest in the world and is relishing his first visit to Dunfermline to see how Fife measures up on the decibel count. With three previous number one albums under the belt, the Yorkshire band this year made a successful return after a seven-year absence.
Dunfermline Live organiser Calum Miller said, We've been able this year to go out and get some of the best up and coming bands from across the UK along with well-established headline acts. Embrace having a top five album this year, Fife's own King Creosote and Eugene McGuinness has been one of our favourites for a long time and it's a big year for him. It's great to have people like Hector Bizerk and the Dexters on board and also to give a platform to local bands from this area like Modern Faces and The Moon Kids. They are doing exceptionally well on the Scottish music scene and it's great for them to play in their home town at an event like this. With all that combined, we think it's an amazing line-up this year and it's going to be one of the best days of music Dunfermline has seen for a long time. The amount of quality in just one day is superb.
