The Hebridean Celtic festival opens its gates today as it welcomes thousands of people to Stornoway.
The festival will take over Lews Castle Green with all three stages bursting with music, culture and community.
Weekend and Saturday tickets are already sold out.
Over the course of the event, audiences will also enjoy music from the likes of multi-award-winning power trio Talisk, Leodhsaich superstars Peat and Diesel, and the incredible Sharon Corr, a founding member of one of Ireland’s most successful bands The Corrs.
Iconic Scottish duo The Proclaimers will bring the party to a close on Saturday night, with electronic celtic fusion outfit Niteworks and Orkney stomp sensations The Chair also set to play sensational sets on the festival’s final night.
HebCelt Festival Director, Graham MacCallum, said: “We are really looking forward to this year’s festival and are so excited about how it’s all shaping up – we have the very best traditional musicians from Scotland and beyond coming to perform in our beautiful location, as well as a jam-packed programme of fringe events and activities for all ages.
“It’s so rewarding to see everyone coming through the gates with smiles on their faces already, raring to go for a fantastic weekend of live music and fun – it’s a fantastic thing to be a part of in every way.”
